Management Zone Ranking Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to set ranking levels for your Management Zones.

To access

Select Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone-based Discovery tab > Management Zones root, and click the View/Edit Management Zone Ranking button.

Important information
  • Changing ranks of Management Zones may cause discovery activities to rerun.
  • As noted, when defining ranges for your Management Zones, if you are aware of a discovery node having multiple IP addresses, we recommend that all of these IP addresses are included in the ranges of only one Management Zone. If IP addresses belonging to one discovery node span more than one Management Zone, and the Management Zones are ranked at different levels, unpredictable discovery results may occur. This is because the IP address that was selected to communicate with the discovery node is used to determine which Management Zone the Node belongs to, and that address may not always belong to the Management Zone with the highest rank.
