One host, multiple IP addresses, multiple licenses?
Hello -
We are using HP servers in our environment, and their integrated Lights-Out management interfaces get separate IP addresses (and hostnames) from the servers on which they live. Therefore, 100 servers are showing up in SDPlus as 200 nodes on every network scan, and consuming twice as many licenses as they should.
For example, ServerA.mydomain.priv has an IP address of 192.168.10.11, while ServerA-iLO.mydomain.priv has an IP address of 192.168.10.111. Both of these are on the same physical box, and every HP server we purchase will have that second IP address.
Is there a way to tell SDPlus that two different items identified in a scan are actually the same IT Asset?
