Switch_B, you will no longer have access to Switch_D. This option would list Switch_D as
one of the other elements that need to be deleted.
• Delete the element. The element may reappear the next time you obtain element details. This
is because not all switches and proxies connected to the element have been removed. For
example, assume you want to delete Switch_A. Switch_B is connected to Switch_A. If you
do not delete Switch_B, the next time you obtain element details Switch_B will most likely
find Switch_A again.

4. Be sure to delete the element from any scheduled automatic discovery task in HP SIM. If a
scheduled automatic discovery task includes the deleted element, SIM will rediscover the
deleted element during the next automatic discovery task.
Working with Quarantined Elements
When an element is quarantined, it is not included in the Discovery Data Collection process until it
is removed from quarantine. For more information, see ”Removing an Element from Quarantine”
on page 166. If a problem occurs with a host or SMI-S element during Discovery Data Collection,
the host or element is automatically quarantined.
Placing an Element in Quarantine
When you click Get Details on the Discovery Data Collection page, the management server
automatically obtains details for the elements in the selected discovery group. Assume you want to
discover all the elements in a discovery group, except for one, which is being taken off of the
network for maintenance. You can use the quarantine feature to exclude this element from
discovery.
NOTE: After you perform Discovery Data Collection for the discovery group containing the
quarantined elements, the quarantined elements appear as missing throughout the product. The
management server marks the quarantined elements as missing because it cannot obtain details
from the quarantined element.
To quarantine an element:
1. Select the check boxes for the elements you want to quarantine on the Discovery Data
Collection page.
2. Click Set Quarantine.
3. When you are asked if you want to quarantine the selected elements, click OK.
The elements you quarantine appear with a flag ( ) in the Quarantined column on the
Discovery Data Collection page.
The elements are excluded from discovery until you clear them from quarantine.
