CIS-Discovery Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Discovery

Discovery finds and maps dependencies for the following types of storage devices: Direct-attached storage (DAS), network-attached storage (NAS), or storage area network (SAN)1. NAS or SAN storage that is discovered via a Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) and Common Information Model (CIM) is also supported2. Discovery collects information about storage area networks from specialized devices, such as storage arrays and Fibre Channel (FC) switches, and creates specific references between the tables in the SAN3. Discovery does not support Multiple area network (MAN) or Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) as types of storage devices.

The CMDB contains records of configuration items (CIs) and their relationships. A CI is any component that needs to be managed in order to deliver an IT service, such as a server, an application, or a user. A relation type defines the nature of the connection between two CIs, such as depends on, uses, or contains. A model is a template for a CI that defines its attributes and default values. An asset is a tangible or intangible resource that is tracked and managed by the organization, such as a laptop, a license, or a contract.

The Debug Identification Section in Debug Mode allows you to specify the identification attributes of a CI that you want to debug. These attributes are used to find the CI in the CMDB and run the pattern on it. The identification attributes vary depending on the CI class, but for infrastructure patterns, the common ones are IP and Host Name. These attributes are also used by the horizontal discovery to identify CIs. AWS Endpoint and PID are not valid identification attributes for infrastructure patterns.
