Deleting Discovered Elements
To remove a discovered element completely you must delete it from both HP SIM and HP Storage
Essentials. If you do not do this, the deleted element can reappear under the following
circumstances:
• If a scheduled automatic discovery task includes the deleted element, HP SIM will rediscover it
during the next discovery.
• If HP Storage Essentials still lists the access point for the element, HP Storage Essentials
rediscovers the element during the next Discovery Data Collection.
You must determine the access points for the element you want to delete. In the following figure
QBrocade2 is accessed by two switches: 192.168.10.25 and 198.168.10.22. You must delete
both access points to completely remove the element. As a result, the QBrocade5 switch will also
be removed because it has the same access points as QBrocade2.

NOTE: If HP Storage Essentials and HP SIM are installed on the same computer, you cannot delete
the HP Storage Essentials management server from HP SIM.
