Welcome to the Discovered Machines
Import Tool
The Discovered Machines Import Tool (DMIT) obtains information related to discovered machines and
devices that are retrieved by Network Mapper (Nmap), and imports selected machines into the VCM
database as discovered machines. After the machines are in VCM, you can begin the process of licensing
and managing them.
This guide describes how to import machines discovered by Nmap into the VCM database.
The Discovered Machines Import Tool provides the following capabilities:
Allows you to retrieve current information found in the database and compare this information with
n
the information retrieved by Nmap.
Provides a list of machines that exist in the database.
n
Reports whether differences exist between the information retrieved by Nmap and the information in
n
the database.
If you have access to the database, you can import machines discovered by Nmap into the database. To
import discovered machines into the database when you do not have access to the database, the tool
allows you to create a SQL script that contains all of the required information.
For information about Nmap commands, see the Nmap Reference Guide at:
