HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 User Guide

A Important Notes
System and object names must be unique
System and object names must be unique in Systems Insight Manager.
For example, the name of a Virtual Connect Domain must not be identical to the name of a Virtual
Connect Switch, or they can be confused in Systems Insight Manager. The Virtual Connect Domain
is a virtual system with no physical network address. The Virtual Connect Switch is a physical
system that is network addressable.
Setting the Primary DNS Suffix for the CMS
IMPORTANT: If the Windows server you are installing Systems Insight Manager onto is a
multi-homed system serving up multiple IP addresses across multiple domains, then it is important
that the server has the primary DNS suffix defined for the system. The primary DNS suffix must be
displayed in the System Properties as part of the Full computer name for the server.
In Windows:
Procedure 35 Setting the Primary DNS suffix of the CMS BEFORE installation
1. From the Windows Control Panel, click System. The System Properties window appears.
2. Select the Computer Name tab. The Computer Name window appears.
3. Click More. The DNS Suffix and NetBIOS Computer Name window appears.
4. Enter the primary DNS suffix name in the Primary DNS suffix of this computer field.
5. Continue clicking OK until you return to the Control Panel.
To fix the issue AFTER Systems Insight Manager installation, complete the following:
Procedure 36 Deleting duplicate CMS AFTER installation

4. Select the remaining CMS system, and then select Options→Identify Systems.
5. Select target systems, and then click Run Now.
