Now that you have added credentials, you are ready to run the first scan again.

  1. Click the Discovery Status button to go to the Discovery page. From this page select the Recent Runs tab. The Recent Runs page is displayed.

  2. Click the Rescan Now button against the First Test Scan. This runs the same scan again, though this time, having login credentials for the IP addresses, the scan will yield more complete data.
  3. You can now view the results of the scan and look for details of hosts in the range that you have scanned. Click the Discovery Reports button to show the reports that are available on the discovered data.

    Comparing this to the Discovery reports page after the credential free scan it is clear that significantly more information has been obtained on the later scan.
    Now you can examine the hosts that BMC Atrium Discovery has discovered.
  4. Click the Infrastructure tab. The Infrastructure page is displayed.

  5. Click the Hosts icon to display a list of discovered hosts.

  6. Click on a host to view it.

You have now successfully scanned the network segment with and without credentials and have viewed a discovered host.

Destroying Hosts

If you have reached the maximum number of hosts (30) permitted in the Community Edition of BMC Atrium Discovery, Discovery will stop and you cannot start any new discovery runs. Ideally you should target discovery runs at so that only the hosts that you are interested in are scanned.

If you need to carry out further work and scan additional hosts, then you must destroy some existing ones so that you can start discovery again. To do this:

  1. Click the Infrastructure tab. The Infrastructure page is displayed.

  2. Click the Hosts icon to display a list of discovered hosts.

  3. Select the hosts you want to destroy by clicking the selection box at the left of the host row. You can select multiple hosts. You can also select all hosts by clicking the selection box at the left of the heading row.
  4. Select Destroy from the Actions menu.
    You are asked for confirmation. Click OK to destroy the hosts or Cancel to return to the hosts page without destroying any hosts.
