https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/system-name-problems/m-p/3194652#M1171 I have snmp devices that do not resolve to a system name. The IP address floods the System Name field. There seems to be no way to change the system name once it has been discovered. I have made DNS entires and host file entries after which I can ping the device by name but doing another discover continues to place the IP address in the System Name field. Any suggestions would be helpful.<BR />Thanks Tue, 17 Feb 2004 16:05:54 GMT Brian Gilliam_1 2004-02-17T16:05:54Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/system-name-problems/m-p/3194652#M1171 I have snmp devices that do not resolve to a system name.

On the hpSIM server, you must be able to nslookup the IP address and have it resolve to the name and vice versa.

Time will only tell.... Thanks for the help.
