Hostname discovery
By default, the appliance assigns an alias using the appliance mac address and the SP IPaddress. For example, an SP with
an IPaddress of 10.207.16.99 discovered on an appliance with a mac address 00:e0:86:0b:dd:38 would be assigned a name
of 0b-dd-38_10.207.16.99. However, if you enable hostname discovery, the appliance will detect the SPhostname at time of
discovery and assign the hostname as the alias.
To update an alias name to the currently assigned hostname:
1. After discovering an SP, from the sidebar of the Administration tab, click Targets - SP  Management.
2. From the Service Processors tab, check the box next to the SPor SPs you want to update and click Refresh
Hostname to query the hostname. If a hostname cannot be determined, the alias will not be changed.
Discovery log

displays the status of the add/discovery steps and will automatically update as status changes occur.
