Families tree view and moving downward. Appliances are automatically added to the first defined Family that matches the appliance purpose. Therefore, the order in which Families appear is important. To adjust this search order, right-click on a Family and then select Move Up or Move Down to adjust its position within the Families list.

vOrphaned Appliances

Any discovered appliances that have been configured using the IAACU but that do not meet the rules for any existing Family are automatically added to the Orphaned Appliances group.

vOrphaned Externally Configured Appliances

Any discovered appliance that has been configured without using the IAACU tool and that does not meet the rules for any existing Family is automatically added to the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group. Appliances configured without the IAACU that meet the rules for any existing Family are automatically added to the matching Family. To add an Orphaned Externally configured Appliance to an appropriate Family that was created after the orphaned appliance was discovered, right-click on the orphaned appliance and select Adopt by First Matching Family. For more information, see “Using the Adopt by First Matching Family Function” on page 14.

Note: The IAACU will not change manually configured network settings of discovered appliances. If the manually configured IP and Subnet addresses fit an existing Family, the IAACU will place that appliance into that Family, but will not change any other settings (such as Host Name, DNS, or gateway addresses).

vConflicting Network Addresses

Any discovered appliance that has the same IP address as a previously discovered appliance will be listed in the Conflicting Network Addresses group.
