You can use IBM® UrbanCode® Deploy to
discover potential agent locations on UNIX™ and Windows™.
Ensure that the Nmap utility
is installed on the system where IBM UrbanCode Deploy server
is installed, and that the Nmap utility is on the path environment
variable.
This feature uses Nmap utility to search
for locations where agents might be installed. The Nmap utility
searches ports 22 and 135. A location
with port 22 that is open is assumed to be computer
that is running UNIX. A location
with port 135 that is open is assumed to be a computer
that is running Windows.Note: Agent
discovery does not work on IBM z/OS®.
- Click .
- Click Discover Available Network Hosts.
- Using the Discover Available Network Hosts window,
enter the subnets to search in the Subnet field.
The format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nn where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is
the IP address and nn is the network prefix. To
search more than one subnet, enter each one on a separate line.
- Click Save to start the search.
Search times depend on the size and number of subnets that are
searched. If you search a large subnet, or many subnets simultaneously,
the search time might be lengthy.
Discovered locations are listed on the
Agents tab with the status
of
Installable.
A discovered agent is automatically given the
same name as the discovered host. If the host name is unavailable, the discovered IP address
is used instead.
You can install a discovered agent by using the Install
Agent action that is associated with the agent on the Agents pane.
For information about installing discovered agents, see Installing agents remotely.
