What would you like to collect?
Inventory or Dependency Mapping
Inventory Discovery
Application Dependency Mapping
• Stay on-track with what you own: Hardware
and Software
• Data Center focused
• Supports Data Center as well as Clients
(laptops / desktops)
• Enables Application Modeling, Impact Analysis
and Change tracking, DCT
• Create reports or feed information to Asset
Management tools for further analysis there
• Manage your environment using Configuration
Manager
• Know what you have and how it interacts
UD allows you to perform both from a single discovery tool

Which is the best discovery method?
Agent-less vs. Agent-based
Agent-based
Agent-less
• No need to deploy/maintain agent per server
• Overcome security barriers
• No continued presence on discovered device
(minimal footprint)
• Challenging maintenance of user credentials is
not required anymore
• Leverages available access points
(protocols) to get desired information
• Deeper insight into computer information (e.g.
software utilization)
• Enables agent-initiated data reporting (“Call
Home”)
UD allows the organization to choose the best method of discovery per
the specific needs and constraints of each management zone
30
© Copyright 2013 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
Which is the best discovery technology?
Active vs. Passive
Passive Discovery
Active Discovery
• Based on balanced Scheduling:
• Performed Passively (no noise)
• Frequent => creates more noise
• Continuous, Shallow discovery
• Infrequent => stale data
• Deployment requires configured Span Port for the
Passive (RUM) Probe
• Enables rich, customizable configuration
mapping
• Requires credentials
• Credential-less
• Administration and management of the integration
is being done in UD.
• Deep Discovery
With Just-in-time Discovery Active and Passive Discovery complement
each other to enable both up-to-date and deep discovery results

What is Universal Discovery for ORACLE
Licensing?
 An Oracle-verified solution for collecting and
summarizing license information about Oracle
Databases (version 8+)
 Co-developed by Oracle LMS and HP Software.
 A solution which enables the collection of
information required to maintain compliance.
 Accelerates license review engagements by
having an Oracle license audit report at hand in
advance of a formal audit.
36

Oracle LMS & Audits
Do you know whether you are Oracle compliant?
•
Software licensing is increasingly complex with many licensing
models
•
Understanding CPU & Core details of servers with Oracle
installed
•
Gaps in understanding how licensing metrics should be reported
•
Lack of clarity and increased risk of being out of compliance
Do you know your Oracle “raw” inventory level?
•
Capturing all installed Oracle database instances
•
Identification for Option and Management Packs being used
•

Accurately generating “verified” information for Oracle LMS audits
