Reports and Data collection history

[CA1499584]

If I do a report on a server and ask for all CPU info. The report show up 24 CPU's This is not correct I have only 4 CPU's, I beleive this was becouse some one turn on history collection. I change back to "Overwrite existing data set (for detailed analysis)". How I can clean out the remaining history and keep just detailed one.

What version of HPSIM?
The Historical Data collection will not affect the report if you're doing this from the Report option from within HPSIM.

HPSIM 4.2 addressed some duplicate reporting issues caused by different data collection mechanisms.

This is from HP SIM4.1 and they have this dup. reporting issue as you mention.

Can we delete any history and just start up as ot never happened?

If you're not interested in keeping Historical data you can just delete and rediscover the Servers.
You might also want to disable the WBEM Collection as I seem to recall this contributed to the duplicate data.
Unfortunately you may still see some "false" reporting due the hyperthreading which makes it look like a dual processor on newer Servers.

Thanks, On the other 4.2 I use this one still show the hyperthreading dups. in the report, They show up as blank but isn't that a big deal. Just the ones in 4.1 .. Thanks
