The virtual machine is discovered as an unmanaged system

For VMware and Microsoft Virtual Server virtual machines only, a virtual machine might appear
as unmanaged when you perform a discovery. To resolve this issue:
1.

Log in to HP SIM.

2.

Select to view a collection that shows the unmanaged systems.

3.

Select the unmanaged systems.

4.

Select Options

→Identify Systems, and then click Run Now.

5.

When identification is complete, return to step 2 to determine if any virtual machines are still
listed as unmanaged. If so, continue to perform steps 3 through 5 until all virtual machines
are listed as managed.

After all virtual machines are managed, they remain in that state even if you perform a discovery
again.

Uninstalling or retiring an HP SIM CMS

If you are uninstalling or retiring an HP SIM CMS, and you are moving HP SIM to a new CMS,
then you must unregister all virtual machine hosts that are registered to the HP SIM CMS before
you perform the uninstallation.

To unregister virtual machine hosts, from the HP SIM toolbar, select Configure

→Virtual

Machine

→Unregister Virtual Machine Host

If the virtual machine hosts are not unregistered, then an error message appears when you attempt
to register the virtual machine host to the new HP SIM CMS.

If the original HP SIM CMS is not available, then register the virtual machine hosts to the new HP
SIM CMS:
1.

Restart the VMM Agents on the virtual machine host.

2.

To register the virtual machine host on the new CMS, select Configure

→Virtual

Machine

→Register Virtual Machine Host
