Configure Discovery for UNIX or Linux hosts with attached storage

Discovery can find information about a UNIX or Linux host and attached storage.

Before you begin

Role required: discovery_admin

Procedure

1. Optional: On the host, assign elevated privileges to the account that Discovery will use.
2. On the ServiceNow instance, add credentials to the Discovery Credentials table.
3. Create a Discovery Schedule for each host IP address.
4. Optional: Create a behavior that uses a functionality definition with a wbem port probe to make the initial port-scanning phase (Shazzam) more efficient.
5. Run network discovery.
   Note:

   If the host also connects to a NAS or SAN storage array, set up the SMI-S Provider and CIM credentials.
