wrong product name being discovered

[steve christie_1]

Hi, i am running SIM 4.2 sp1, about 2 weeks ago, i noticed 4 of my proliant dl380's are now showing up as Poweredge servers. I have other dl380's that are fine. i even deleted and let the discovery re-discover the servers and they still came back as Poweredge. can someone tell me how i can fix this?

Has someone added a new device to the manage system types section and maybe used the wrong parameters?

It's possible, my boss was in there trying to get the dell devices discovered, probably made a change. I see an entry for Poweredge in there, should i just delete it?

My guess is the definition is too broad and it's picking up the DL's in the same sweep.

I do not have any Poweredge servers in my list, so I'd guess it's been added.
You can always re-add at a later date.

that did it, i deleted the poweredge product name and rediscovered servers This time they cam back as dl380's. Thanks for the help.
