Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

How to Discover IBM Virtualization
This task includes the following steps:
-
Prerequisites - Set up protocol credentials
This discovery uses the SSH, Telnet, and Universal Discovery protocols.
For credential information, see Supported Protocols.
If some of the commands are configured to run with sudo on the target host, in the Protocol Parameters dialog box, fill in the following fields:
-
Sudo paths. Enter the full path to the sudo executable, together with the name of the executable. You can add more than one entry if executable files are placed in various places on the target operating systems.
-
Command List. Enter a list of commands that are prefixed with sudo.
Example:
sudo,/usr/bin/sudo,/bin/sudo
Example:
lspath,ifconfig
For details, see "Protocol Parameter Dialog Box" in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.

-
Prerequisites - Set up permissions
Before activating discovery, confirm that the discovery user has all the required permissions to run the following commands.
Note For details about these commands, see:
-
Run the discovery
-
To discover IBM HMC, IVM software and related virtualization pSeries solutions, VIO Servers, or any IBM LPAR running systems, run the following jobs in the following order:
-
Run the Range IPs by ICMP job.
-

-
Run the IBM Virtualization by Shell job.
-
Run the IBM LPAR and VIO Server Topology by Shell job.
-
-
To discover IBM PureFlex topology, run the following jobs in the following order:
-
Run the Range IPs by ICMP job.
-
Run the Host Connection by Shell job.
-
Run the IBM PureFlex Topology by Shell job.
-
-
To discover IBM WPAR topology, run the following jobs in the following order:
-
Run the Range IPs by ICMP job.
-
Run the Host Connection by Shell job.
-
Run the IBM Virtualization by Shell job.
- Run the IBM WPAR Topology by Shell job.
-
For details on running jobs, refer to "Module/Job-Based Discovery" in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
