You will want to use the reconciliation engine and you will need to modify your Identification rules to only computer systems that meet your criteria. My present customer is using ADDM 8.1 and the naming convention as well as the Product categorizations are interesting. Do you have Asset Management loaded? if you do I would suggest that you use it to review your computer systems. You can also open the form BMC_BaseElement that will allow you to select your specific dataset and CI Type to review you data.
I do have one question, how much experience do you have with CMDB?

Thank you for your reply Roger. Please accept my apology for being ambiguous in my question.
I have ran Discovery with the Tideway/ADDM appliance.
I've ran the cmdb sync from Tideway's Berkeley database and pushed it into BMC.ADDM.
For the CI Type Computer System, I have the 2000 or so servers, but I also have 4000 workstations, and other odds and ends that have been classified as Computer System. At this point, I wish to only take the actual Redhat, Windows, and Novell servers from BMC.ADDM and get them into BMC.ASSET.
Using the Atrium Core Console as I explained below, I had hoped to be able to list all of the Computer Systems that are in fact, Servers, and not list the Computer Systems that are workstations, etc. Once I can view the servers reliably, my next chore is to get them into BMC.ASSET via Reconciliation Job, or by whatever means is preferred.
Respectfully,
Sam

Hello List,
I'm using AR 7.5 patch 4 and CMDB 7.6 patch 1, running on Redhat RHEL 5.
I'm new to this world, and it may very well be that I'm trying to do something that is not supported. Using ADDM 8.1, I've gathered some 7000 CIs, of which, about 2000 are servers. All of the servers have one of two unique naming conventions. My goal is to pull just the servers into sandbox for Demo, then promote them into BMC.ASSET.
When I go into Atrium Core Console, then into Explorer, then choose the "Find" accordion folder/tab, if I simply choose "Search" I get back all of the CIs. But I've been unable to filter this list at all, using any of the "built in" options. For instance, if I choose "Computer with OS" and then for the "OS Type", choose "Linux" and click "Search", I get zero results back. Even though I know there are hundreds of CIs with a Linux OS, and can see them when I do the unqualified search.
If I can figure out how to accomplish this one search/display filter, I imagine I can apply the same principle to others. Can someone please tell me what I'm missing (or the relevant documentation that will help)? I've read hundreds of pages in the BMC online documentation as well as an RMI CMDB course booklet (600 pages itself - nothing to sneeze at) :) and have so far been unsuccessful.
Thanks,
Sam
