Use Discovery to identify and establish connections with all managed objects in the IBM® Director environment. Managed objects include, but are not limited to, Level-0, Level-1, Level-2 managed systems, SNMP devices, BladeCenter™ management modules, platforms, switches, and z/VM® systems. The management server sends out a discovery request and waits for responses from all managed objects. The managed objects listen for this request and respond to the management server that sent the request.
