https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/sim5-2-duplicate-server-entires/m-p/4282591#M34759 A couple people have asked before but there has been no solution and my troubleshooting with HP has not helped.<BR /><BR />We are getting multiple entries for the same host in SIM5.2. When we turn off the "Automatically discover a system when an event is received from it", the issue stops but that option is supposed to check if the IP is registered in HPSIM before creating a new system (per the tech doc). It appears to not be doing this and creates duplicate entries anyways.<BR /><BR />Has anybody else encountered this and what was your solution?
