Symantec DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION 6.9 SP4 - IBM Server Blades; Finding a Computer in the Database

Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User’s Guide 140
Note
If you have Fujitsu-Siemens Server blades managed by the Deployment Server, ensure
that the SNMP service is running on the Deployment Server. Also, if the Deployment
Server is installed on a Windows 2003 server, ensure that the security is set correctly to
receive traps from remote computers. By default, Deployment Servers cannot receive
traps from remote computers.
IBM server blades
IBM high-density Blade Centers can be deployed and managed from the Deployment
Console. All IBM blade servers are supported by Deployment Solution, but the server
blades can also be managed from the physical view in the Rack/Enclosure/Bay view.
For IBM blade servers in the physical view, the Rack name is always IBM. All
subordinate Enclosures are identified with custom names under the IBM rack name and
Bays are identified by number. Example:
IBM
<enclosureName>
<baynumber>

Finding a computer in the database
This search filter lets you type a string and query specified database fields for specific
computer properties. You can search for user or computer names, licensing or location
information, or primary lookup keys: MAC address, serial number, asset number, or
UUID. This search filter queries property values appear in the Computer Properties
pages. See Computer properties on page 119.
1. In the Search For field, type all or part of the computer’s property values you
would like to search for. This alpha-numeric string is compared with specified
database fields.
2. From the In Field drop-down list, select the field you want to search in the
Deployment Database.
Example: To find a computer by searching for its IP address, type the address in the
Search For field and select the IP Address from the In Field drop-down list.
Click <CTRL> F or click Find Computer on the console toolbar to search
the Deployment Database for computers by property settings.
The search begins at the top of the computer list and highlights the
computer name in the Computers pane when a match is found. Press F3
to find the next computer that matches the search criteria until there are
no more results, or the end of the computer list is reached.
