https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/hp-sim-agents-for-linux-esx/m-p/4967458#M47156 I figured it out thanks by putting a loopback in the nic cards I don't need to prevent any link down alerts.

So they show up als "link failure" and system status "major" in SIM.<BR /><BR />I would like to disable the monitoring of these unused ports (in Windows this can be done by disabling the connection.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR />Martin.
