Running a full discovery

Full discovery is run automatically in the GUI every 30 minutes. If you notice inconsistences in the GUI, you can run a manual full discovery of all of the GUI operations.

Event logs for Access Appliance features are stored in the /opt/VRTSnas/log directory.

To a full discovery

  1. Click Settings > Services management, and in the Storage services management area click Run full discovery.
  2. Confirm that you want to run a full discovery.
  3. View the Recent Activity panel for the status of the task.
