Manually Discovering Servers
LSI Storage Authority discovers servers that are in the same subnet automatically. However, using the Manual Discovery option that is available on the Remote Server Discovery page, you can manually discover the servers using either the IP address or the host name of the server. Manual Discovery option enables you to discover and manage servers that are outside the subnet.
Manual Discovery server health will not get updated unless the server is part of Auto Discovered list. If the Manual Discovery server is part of the Auto Discovered list, then the Manual Discovery server will be removed and will be displayed as Auto Discovered Server.
Adding the same server to Manual Discovery in different forms (different IP/Hostname) is not recommended. Adding a server with the same name will cause the same server to appear multiple times in the Manual Server or Remote Discovery pages.
Perform the following steps from the Remote Server Discovery page to manually discover servers that are outside the subnet.
You can also choose to remove this server from the Remote Server Discovery list by clicking on the Remove Manually Added Server icon.
