Configuring Server Discovery Policies
Server Discovery Policy
This discovery policy determines how the system reacts when you add a new server. If you create a server
discovery policy, you can control whether the system conducts a deep discovery when a server is added to a
chassis, or whether a user must first acknowledge the new server. By default, the system conducts a full
discovery.
If you create a server discovery policy, the following occurs when a new server starts:
1
The qualification in the server discovery policy is executed against the server.
2
If the server meets the required qualifications, Cisco UCS Manager applies the following to the server:
• Depending upon the option selected for the action, either discovers the new server immediately or
waits for a user to acknowledge the new server
• Applies the scrub policy to the server
