Start the Discovery Service

To start the Discovery Service, perform the following procedure:

  1. Open a DOS box and change to the following directory. If you installed Arcserve Backup to a non-default directory, change the drive letter as appropriate.
  2. C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\ARCserve Backup\CADS
  3. Enter dsconfig, then press Enter.
  4. Click the Start button.

Note: Discovery Service, which starts the discovery process, may take some time, depending on the size of the network, and it could also create a load on your WINS servers as well. Because of this, it is recommended that the IP Subnets/Windows Domains Discovery only be run when necessary, and when there is the least amount of network traffic occurring.
