The Discover Storage Systems dialog box lists all the storage systems discovered by
System Manager. You can use this dialog box to discover storage systems or
HA pairs on a network subnet and add them to the list of managed systems.
The SNMP protocols SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c must be enabled, and an SNMP community must be configured to discover storage systems in System Manager. However, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols are less secure compared to SNMPv3 protocol. In storage systems running Data ONTAP 8.1 or a later version in the Data ONTAP 8.1 family, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols are enabled by default. In storage systems running Data ONTAP 8.2 or later, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are disabled by default.
When you add one of the systems in an HA pair, the partner system is automatically added to the list of managed systems. You can type the IPv4 address in any of the following formats: A.B.C.D, A.B.C, A.B.C.*, or A.B.C.D/24.
