Removing Elements from the Addresses to Discover List
When you remove IP addresses and/or ranges from the Addresses to Discover list, the elements
associated with those IP addresses are not removed from the management server. Only the
information that was used to discover them is removed.

IMPORTANT: This step removes systems from the discovery list and from the HP SIM database.
NOTE: Refer to the HP SIM documentation for more information about removing discovered
