The Discovery Process

The discovery process is launched just after the end of the detection process. It takes the following actions:

●Processes the "Enclosure.Discovery" section of the detected connectors (“.hdf”) that describe the computer model and create the main Hardware Sentry and computer icon (class: Enclosure). Most of other icons (environment, disks, devices etc) will be created under this computer icon.

●Launches the disk controller discovery that processes the "Disk Controller Discovery" section of each detected “.hdf” file and creates the Disk Controller icons.

●Launches the other discoveries (fans, temperatures, voltages, power supplies, logical disks, physical disks and other devices) that will process the corresponding sections of each detected “.hdf” file and create the corresponding icons.

With a view to optimization, the discovery process is as parallelled as possible. All independent objects are processed at the same time.
