https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/disable-reverse-dns-lookup-in-sim/m-p/4179746#M32667 I am having an issue where with server names in SIM. I have a set of servers where, after I discover them and identify them, the system name changes due to the reverse lookup performed by SIM returning a different name for the system. I was curious if there was a way to disable the reverse lookup step in the identify process?

If you are unable to fix your DNS problems, you can get them under local control using a hosts file.
