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.
