Adding Systems

[Mark_461]

Whether or not I add a system manually or automatically. It is not added. When I try the name or ip, I get the system already exists and after running the auto discovery it doesn't appear. I've peaked into the device, device name, and ip address tables and I see no references. Is there another table I'm missing?

Hello

When I add a system manually, wait a several minute and then i see this new system.

It doesn't even allow the system to be added because it displays the error
The system could not be added for the following reasons:

A system already exists with the name you provided. Please use a unique name.

But its not listed anywhere within HP SIM or those previous tables I listed

Check your security configuration.

Go to Options-->Security-->Users and Authorizations. Go to the authorizations tab and verify that your logged in user is authorized for "All Managed Systems"

Security checks out fine, I was and still am the administrator of the box, I think the problem is that this system was part of a cluster, and the cluster agent wasn't running for HP. Then when the node was added it had multiple ips and name for the actual server and the virtual servers. I went through and removed all references to the node and its virtual servers. But the unique name message still persists

You could use the CLI command "mxnode -lt" to display a list of all nodes known to SIM and then the "mxnode -r node" command to remove the node.

What I wound up doing is restoring the backup previous to me adding that system. So obviously everything cleared out but I would assume the command you suggested would have worked, I keep forgetting about the command line tools for more than mcompile and mxmib. Thanks
