discover devices

[Aung Thu]

Hi All,
I am currently using HP SIM 4.2 and accidently click discover before I sort the host name entries. I would like to delete the devices I do not want but SIM won't allowed me to deleted it. Is there a way to delete unwanted devices even from SQL entries ?
Thanks

SIM won't allow you to delete the SIM server itself but should allow you to delete others.

If not, perhaps you are logging in as a SIM user that does not have the required permissions?

I am loggin in as admin access. I can delete the server on the view, but it showed up after the schedule hardware polling. I want to delete the device in the discover event.

I believe you must be mistakenly trying to delete the Discovered System events for these servers. HP SIM will not allow you to do that.

If you want to delete the servers, click on the System Overview link on the left pane. Then, click the word TOTAL under Servers in the System Overview window.

Once the All Server Systems list comes up, just select the servers you want to delete. Be advised that all events associated to the server you delete will also be automatically deleted (including the Discovered System events).

Does this help?

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the info. I was able to delete the servers which I do not want to monitor. However, those servers show up next day. Am I mising something on this ?

Under Automatic Discovery-General Settings, There is a check box "Automatically execute discovery every:" By Default it is every one day and 10.00 AM. So HPSIM will execute discovery process on all the ipaddresses in the ping inclusion range, everyday at 10 AM.

There are three ways you can avoid the discovery of unwanted servers.

1. Put the ipaddresses in the exclusion range.
2. uncheck "Automatically execute discovery every:" so that it does not execute everyday.
3. Make sure that the unwanted devices are not in the ping inclusion range.

I suggest option 1.
