HP SIM cannot categorize properly by operating system

[Sean Carolan]

I created a collection of 182 Linux servers by hand, selecting them from the "all systems" page.

Next, I tried to create a collection of everything with "linux" in the OS field. It only found 120 servers. I spot checked a bunch of the missing servers, and they all have their OS listed as "Linux" on the pull-down menu.

Can anyone help?

Ok, I think I have found a workaround. Apparently it was searching the text "Operating System" field and not the pull-down menu. Since not all of my servers actually contained the word "linux" they weren't all showing up.

I got the collection working by searching all common attributes for "linux".
