2.5 Procedure for checking the total number of devices discovered in the share range of a product license
You can identify how many more product licenses you need in a given share range by finding out the total number of devices discovered in that share range. You can do so by using the sharing-source server or a higher management server. From the operation window of the server, select Discovery, display the Discovered Nodes window, and filter the Discovered Nodes area.
The checking procedure depends on the pattern of the operation window used and applicable system configuration as follows:
- Pattern 1
-
-
Operation window used: Operation window of the sharing-source server
-
System configuration: The management relay servers under the sharing-source server include those that are not sharing-destination servers.
-
- Pattern 2
-
-
Operation window used: Operation window of the sharing-source server
-
System configuration: All the management relay servers under the sharing-source server are sharing-destination servers.
-
- Pattern 3
-
-
Operation window used: Operation window of a management server higher than the sharing-source server
-
System configuration: Any
-
The procedure for each pattern is as follows:
To check the total number of devices discovered in a share range (pattern 1):
-
Select Discovery, and then display the Discovered Nodes window.
-
Select Show only the devices that are directly under the device.
Only the devices discovered by the sharing-source server are displayed in Discovered Nodes. Check the number of displayed devices.
-
Clear the Show only the devices that are directly under the device check box.
-
Set filtering conditions to filter all discovered devices (Discovered Nodes).
As filtering conditions, specify the routes from a sharing destination to the sharing source in Route to the Managing Source. Only the devices that satisfy the filtering conditions are displayed in Discovered Nodes. Check the number of displayed devices.
-
Perform step 4 for the routes from all sharing destinations to the sharing source.
-
Find the total number of the devices confirmed in step 2, step 4, and step 5.
The total found here is the total number of devices discovered in the share range.
To check the total number of devices discovered in a share range (pattern 2):
-
Select Discovery, and then display the Discovered Nodes window.
-
Clear the Show only the devices that are directly under the device check box.
The number of devices that the management server discovered in the share range is displayed in Discovered Nodes.
To check the total number of devices discovered in a share range (pattern 3):
-
Select Discovery, and then display the Discovered Nodes window.
-
Clear the Show only the devices that are directly under the device check box.
-
Set filtering conditions to filter all discovered devices (Discovered Nodes).
As the filtering conditions, in Route to the Managing Source, specify the route to the local server from a management relay server in the share range you are checking. Only the devices that satisfy the filtering conditions are displayed in Discovered Nodes. Check the number of displayed devices.
-
Perform step 3 for the routes from all management relay servers in the share range you are checking to the local server.
-
Total the number of devices you confirmed in steps 3 and 4.
The total found here is the total number of devices discovered in the share range.
