SIM, ILO, and blade discovery

Folks,

I am having some challenges with the discovery process and my blade enclosure (p-enclosure, 4 BL20's and HP switches)

A while back I ran discovery and found the enclosure, blades, ilo's and switches. The relationship between the enclosue, ilo and blade never seemed to 'connect'. Basically there was no relationship of the ilo to the blade or the blade to the enclosure.

Then a few days ago during some 'automatice' discovery the ilo discovered the blades but calls them 'server_serial#' - the status of these servers are disabled (grey box with slash). These servers also have a relationship to the enclosure - which is a step in the right direction, but not the right objects.

So it would seem somehow the ilo discovered the 'wrong' server - is there a way to configure it so it discovers the 'right' server. If I can get that to work, then I assume that will correct the relationship of the 'right' server to the enclosure.

On a related note, I have discovered the blade switches (1GB HP switch) but again, no relationship between the enclosure. When I look at the enclosure image I get the 4 'wrong' servers to show up, but no switches.

Sorry for the long post - would appreciate any insight.

Thanks
Joe
