About SVM discovery

Light Agent can discover SVMs running on the network in one of the following ways:

• Using the Integration Server. SVMs relay information about themselves to the Integration Server. The Integration Server compiles a list of SVMs available for connection, and sends this list to Light Agents.

  To use this method of SVM discovery, you must connect SVMs and Light Agents to the Integration Server.

• With the use of the list of SVM addresses. You can create a list of SVMs to which Light Agents can connect in the Light Agent policy.

If you use the application under an enterprise license and an advanced SVM selection algorithm is applied, it is recommended to select the Integration Server as the method used by Light Agents to detect SVMs.

You can configure the SVM discovery method used by Light Agents for Windows in the policy for Light Agent for Windows or in the local interface of Light Agent.

You can configure the SVM discovery method used by Light Agents for Linux in the policy for Light Agent for Linux.

You can select only one of the two available SVM discovery methods for Light Agent.

After receiving information about SVMs and compiling a list of SVMs to which a connection can be established, Light Agent selects the SVM according to the SVM selection algorithm and connects to it.

You can receive information about the SVM to which Light Agent is connected:

• For Light Agent for Windows – in the local interface of Light Agent for Windows in the Support window.
• For Light Agent for Linux – using the svminfo command.
