Why is the system named "orphan_nnn"?
A system described as an orphan system is a system for which HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) detects
that both the IP address and name have been reallocated to another system. Occasionally, this reallocation
can happen through simultaneous DHCP address assignment changes and a system rename. However, the
most common cause is from using drive imaging software, such as Altiris. When imaging systems, a globally
unique identifier is used by the Web Agents and HP SIM for identification purposes. On Windows systems,
this problem can be avoided by deleting the registry key entry,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Compaq\CIMAgent\GUID, from the registry before creating the
image. For systems that have already been imaged, stop the foundation agents, remove the key, and restart
the agents. A new discovery corrects the problem. Delete any old "ORPHAN" systems from the HP SIM system
list.
