Solution: To prevent orphans from appearing in the future, review events and remove the system
that you have migrated to a new system type before rediscovering the new system after it is booted.
This is true of systems moving in or out of a virtual system environment.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you see the preferred system name is different than the host name of the full DNS name for an
HP virtual machine guest, it is because the preferred system name is specified in the virtual machine
package.
Solution: If you want HP SIM to display the same name as the host name of the full DNS name,
you must use the modify command to modify it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If an iLO or Onboard Administrator was discovered prior to enabling/configuring Single Sign-on
(SSO), re-identification is required for SSO communication to work between HP SIM and the
iLO/OA.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If an Onboard Administrator is discovered with Discover systems in an enclosure when Onboard
Administrator is discovered option enabled, then the percentage completion of the discovery task
in which the Onboard Administrator IP address is part of, fluctuates. Initially, the percentage
completion is higher, but as the discovery of iLOs are triggered, the overall percentage completion
comes down. As the iLO discovery completes, the percentage completion moves higher and finally
becomes 100% and task status becomes complete.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Some systems, such as Cisco Fibre Channel switches, that support both SNMP and SMI-S protocols
can appear as two separate systems within HP SIM.
-------------------------------------------------------------
HP SIM currently does not support an association of management processor to server if the system
is based on PA-RISC because a management processor is only supported on HP Integrity systems.
This will not be supported until a new release of firmware for the PA-RISC systems.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If the partition has a vPar already created and been discovered by HP SIM but the IP address used
by the vPar has been moved to a stand-alone server, HP SIM will not delete the association to the
complex or the management processor; the reason is the partition still has vPar defined within the
partition.

iLO

If after discovery runs, you can see the CMS, but not the iLO associated with it, check the following:

Be sure both the IP of the CMS and the iLO are discovered.

Be sure to enter the iLO credentials on the Options

→Security→Credentials→Global Credentials.

After setting the credentials, rerun discovery.

Run Configure or Repair Agents to be sure SNMP is configured on iLO and set correctly at
the CMS.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Deployment to an iLO with Trust Platform Module (TPM) enabled on the server will fail. You can
only deploy iLO firmware if TPM is disabled.

Linux servers

When a Linux server is discovered as an unmanaged system:
