CIS-Discovery Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Discovery

During the Discovery process, the Model Category of the Configuration Item (CI) determines if an Asset record is created. A Model Category is a grouping of models that share the same asset tracking strategy and the same CI and Asset tables. The asset tracking strategy defines whether Discovery creates an Asset record for each CI of that Model Category. There are three possible asset tracking strategies: Create Assets, Don’t create Assets, and Create Consumable Assets12.

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 WMI service is a Windows service that enables remote management of Windows devices using the WMI protocol. The WMI service is required for Discovery to access the configuration and status information of Windows devices using WMI queries. If the WMI service is not running on a host, it will prevent the discovery of Windows devices, as Discovery will not be able to communicate with the WMI Collector or execute WMI queries on the target device123.
