2. Select the View Actual CI Topology > Physical action.
3. To view the topology, perform one of the following steps:

   Option	Description
   If the actual configuration item is associated with one operational management product	View the topology.
   If the actual configuration item is associated with multiple operational management products	Specify an operational management product. Click OK. View the topology.

4. Close the discovery tool to return to the Configuration Items application.
