Querry not working as expected

[John Vitiello]

I have 450 Servers. If I create a Device by name Querry that includes all Systems that begin with mf and exclude all systems that contain the letters: nav (or any other exclusion for that matter) it sends me the entire list of 450 servers rather than the servers that begine with MF but do not contain the letters NAV. This works in CIM 7 ok. Any ideas?

Unfortunately this is something that HP SIM can't do (but you are right that IM7 can.) We're looking at it though - that capability is wanted.

Thanks Scott. I appreciate your honesty. The new SIM seems to be lacking that "edge" to make me jump out and upgrade to this version.

We're honestly OK with that - we don't anticipate most people will upgrade until we have the upgrade/migration tools available in any event (looking like the end of March.)

Oh, and the team figured out the problem with the criteria you wanted to use and we should have a fix for it in the next release (again, end of March.)

Awesome!
