This page contains a configuration of an optional step, allowing the user to perform scanning of services likes vSphere / ESX instances, SNMP devices, and Oracle databases on already existing devices.
The options are complementary, if the radio button is checked then at least one option must be enabled in order to continue. By default, these options are not selected.
For the Oracle inventory, there are two extra options to configure on this page:
•For Oracle scan, probe the following ports - This is the port that will be used for probing for Oracle TNS listeners. Multiple ports can be probed by entering a semicolon separated list of port numbers. If not defined otherwise, the default port 1521 is going to be used.
•Use Remote-Execution based Oracle discovery. - By default, the discovery of the instance will be done in the "zero-touch" mode. Using this option enables remote execution of scanning utilities on a target server, which usually provides better scanning results. For more information about the differences between inventory methods, refer to the Inventory Methods chapter.
•For Esx and Vsphere scan, probe the following ports: - This is the port used for probing for ESX and vSphere environments. Multiple ports can be probed by entering a semicolon separated list of port numbers. If not defined otherwise, the default port 443 is going to be used.
