For most SPs, you can view the type of SPs from the SP Profile column in the Unmanaged SP

list. In a few cases, the SP profiles cannot be recognized until the SPs are managed and verified.

For more details, see Managed and Unmanaged SP Lists (Admin users only) on page 38.

NOTE: To avoid MergePoint SPmanager discover errors, ensure the following:

- RSA II, IBMBlade Center, and Sun ALOM servers must have SSH interfaces enabled.

- Dell iDrac 6 and DRAC 5 servers must have IPMI over LANenabled.

- Since authentication is attempted for every Default SP User, ensure that this list contains only those users

necessary to discover your servers. If the number of Default SP Users is not limited, some servers will lock out the

discovery process after too many failed attempts.
