Creating a discovery adaptor

You may register the agent to multiple discovery servers by creating multiple discovery adapters. Since UDP, unlike JINI and LDAP, is a connectionless protocol and broadcasts within a subnet, only one UDP adaptor is supported.

StepsCreating a discovery adaptor

  1. Open the Discovery Adaptor wizard from the Discovery Adaptor folder for an agent.

  2. Enter a unique ID for the discovery adaptor to be added.

  3. Select the discovery adaptor class.

  4. Click Next.

  5. A screen displays notifying you that the new discovery adaptor will be created with default values for the selected adaptor class. Use the properties dialog to change any default values before restarting the agent.

    Click finish to complete the wizard.

  6. See “Viewing and changing discovery adaptor properties” to change any default values for the new discovery adaptor.
