Figure 17-3 Custom Asset Discovery Screen

2. In the Custom Asset Criteria Table section, click the New Criteria icon to define

new discovery criteria. The Specify Asset Discovery Criteria section in Figure 17-3

is enabled. You must define discovery criteria for the following assets in your

Exalogic machine individually:

• Compute Nodes

• Storage appliance

• Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switches

• Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36

Note:

This switch is used in multirack configuration scenarios only. It is not

connected in a Exalogic machine single rack configuration.
