Adding and discovering console switches Adding console switches Before a console switch can be accessed through the HP IP Console Viewer, you must add it to the HP IP Console Viewer database. After the console switch has been manually added or discovered, it appears in the list view. If an IP address has already been assigned to the console switch, the HP IP Console Viewer automatically discovers it by searching for an exact IP address or an address range. If an IP address has not yet been assigned, you must manually add the console switch. If you are installing multiple console switches, HP recommends using the Discover Wizard. If you are installing a single console switch, HP recommends using the New Console Switch Wizard. NOTE: For KVM console switches, HP recommends that you assign names to the target servers in the console switch OSD before adding them to the HP IP Console Viewer. For serial console switches, the server name should be configured on the associated serial console switch port using the CLI. For more information, refer to the documentation included with the serial console switch. Adding a console switch without an assigned IP address 1.
