https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/two-separate-systems-for-one-virtual-machine-guest/m-p/3732590#M18476 I currently have two systems for each virtual machine guest showing in SIM. One entry has the dns name and IP address as it is on the network with only a green check in the HS column and labeled Unmanaged. The other has the VMware display name as its System Name, no IP address, labeled as a Server, a green check in the VM column, and a blue question mark in the HS and PF columns.<BR /><BR />Am I wrong in assuming these two entries are supposed to be combined in SIM to show a single server with all of that information?<BR /><BR />My VM guest is showing healthy and is registered and licensed in SIM.

But I'm not too sure what additional complexity keeping the display and dns names different would introduce.
