What occurs when a target host is already discovered in the CMDB during Service Mapping?

• A. The host will be deleted in the CMDB and a new host record will be created during Service Mapping discovery.
• B. The host will be immediately rediscovered, but only the changes will be updated in the CMDB during Service Mapping discovery.
• C. The host will be immediately rediscovered and updated in the CMDB during Service Mapping discovery.
• D. The host will not be rediscovered during Service Mapping discovery.

Answer: (D)

When a target host is already discovered in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) during Service Mapping, the correct scenario is that the host will not be rediscovered during the Service Mapping discovery process. This occurs because Service Mapping is designed to recognize existing CI (Configuration Item) records within the CMDB. If a host has already been mapped and exists in the CMDB, the discovery process does not attempt to reprocess that host. Instead, it focuses on mapping and discovering new relationships or updates to the existing configurations. By avoiding redundant discoveries, the process remains efficient and ensures that updates or changes are made accurately without creating duplicate entries or unnecessary load on the system. Therefore, no new discovery event takes place for the existing target host, allowing the process to continue smoothly with the already established data integrity in the CMDB.
