Discover NSX-V Network in NetBrain

Before visualizing an NSX-V network, first discover the network data model in a NetBrain domain, including NSX Managers, NSX Controllers, Logical Switches, Distributed Logical Routers, and NSX Edges.

Information Note: An NSX Manager is registered with a vCenter system. The corresponding vCenter Controller must be discovered before discovering the NSX-V Manager. See Discover vCenter Data in NetBrain for more details.
  1. In the Domain Management page, select Discover.
  2. Click Select API Servers and select NSX that you have configured.
  3. Click Start Discovery.

    Information Note: If the URL of the NSX Manager entered in the Endpoints field contains a domain name, you must enter the domain name here for discovery.
    Information Note: The discovery for your NSX-V network only retrieves basic data. After the discovery, you need to execute a benchmark task to retrieve all data and build all components, including visual spaces and data views. See Auto-Update NSX-V Data in NetBrain through Benchmark for details.
