Other Network View Operations

Note: It may take several minutes for NetMRI to reflect the new status when changing the license status of a device in the network.

To force devices to the top of a queue, do the following:

1. Click the check box for the device(s), then click Discover Next (below the table).
2. Click the check box for the device(s).
3. Click License (below the table).
4. In the License Status dialog, select the desired license status (Automatic, Licensed or Unlicensed), then click OK.

NetMRI gives explicitly licensed devices priority in determining which devices to manage. Unlicensed devices continue to be managed by the appliance, but only basic discovery data is periodically collected from them.
To force immediate discovery of devices: Click the check box for the device(s), then click Discover Now (above the table). NetMRI will execute the processes required against a device to complete discovery. These include SNMP credential collection, SNMP data collection, device group assignment and CLI credential collection.
To delete devices from NetMRI's database, do the following:

1. Click the check box for the device(s).
2. Click Delete (below the table).
3. (Optional) In the Delete dialog, select Exclude from discovery (see below).
4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

If a device continues to appear in collected data, NetMRI will re-list the device unless you choose to exclude the device from discovery when it is deleted.
To un-manage devices, do the following:

1. Click the check box for the device(s).
2. Click Unmanage (below the table).
3. Confirm the operation.

Unmanaged devices remain discovered, but NetMRI will not collect data from them. The appliance will not obtain details—such as vendor, model and operating system version—because SNMP access is required to complete those processes.
