If I remove mtms and serial from the storage node definition, how would that cause bmcdiscover to ignore this node? It seems to me that in the contrary, that would cause bmcdiscover to think this node hasn't been discovered yet.
But your response inspired a thought - if I do the opposite and *add* mtms, serial and MAC address to the storage node object, would that be enough to get bmcdiscover to think this node has already been discovered? Or do I need any other settings? _____________________________________________________________________ Kevin Keane | Systems Architect | University of San Diego ITS | kke...@sandiego.edu Maher Hall, 192 |5998 Alcalá Park | San Diego, CA 92110-2492 | 619.260.6859 *REMEMBER! **No one from IT at USD will ever ask to confirm or supply your password*.
