• UUID A unique identifier from the agent or other instrumentation on the system.
• Serial Number The serial number of the system.
Orphan systems
An orphan system is a system detected by HP SIM that has had its IP address and name reallocated to
another system. Occasionally, this reallocation can happen through simultaneous DHCP address assignment
changes and a system rename. Other causes can include a move of the operating system from one blade
to another through different virtualization mechanisms such as a physical-to-physical system move or
replacement of a system board that has not be configured the same as the original system board.
In HP SIM, you can name orphan systems in the following ways:
• < serialNumber > Where < serialNumber > is replaced with the serial number of the system.
• < serialNumber >-< devKey >-< oldName > Where < serialNumber > is replaced with the serial number
of the system, < devKey > is replaced with the devKey on the system, and oldName > is replaced with
the old system name.
• < devKey > Where < devKey > is replaced with the devKey on the system.
