https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/other-systems/m-p/3583781#M13060 I'm a true newbie, with a dumb question, does SIM work with other systems besides HP and Compaq, like on a Dell server? I know it will discover them, but can you deploy the software/firmware? And how do you prune the DB from old systems? If I delete an old system, it brings it back in the system list.
