You can manually discover MySQL instances on demand. By default, MySQL instances are automatically discovered every 24 hours. Instances are also automatically discovered when the Communications Service (GxCVD) is restarted (for example, after a computer reboot).
When you discover instances, the newly discovered instances are assigned a plan as follows:
-
If the server is installed from the Command Center, then the newly discovered instances inherit the plan of the server.
-
If the server is not installed from the Command Center, then you must set a plan for the newly discovered instances.
Note
You cannot automatically discover MySQL instances on Solaris.
