Use this page to configure the Software Search settings for the Host Resources MIB.
Directory Levels to Search from Root
Check the Enabled box to enable distribution of the Directory Levels to Search
from Root settings. After you enable the distribution, this option become available
for configuration.
Range: 0 to 256 (levels)
Default: 1
Specifies a number that indicates how far down the NDS® tree
the Host Resources MIB searches for program files.
Zero (0) means that no search is done unless additional search paths are specified.
The first level is the root; therefore, by default, only program files in the root are found.
All local hard disks are searched. No disk drives, CD drives, or network drives are searched.
If you have a large amount of local disk space, you should not have the Host Resources MIB search all the disk space. For optimal performance, minimize the search as much as possible.
The information about the programs is used by the network management console. It is useful to keep track of the software on client workstations.
Enable Additional Search Paths
Check the Enable Additional Search Paths box to enable distribution of the Additional
Search Paths settings. After you enable the distribution, this option become
available for configuration. When these settings are distributed to associated
workstations, you can choose whether these settings are appended to existing
client settings on the target workstations or whether these settings replace
any existing client settings on the target workstations.
