Removing a host from active discovery
If you decide you no longer want the Management application to discover and monitor a specific
host, you can delete it from active discovery. Deleting a host also deletes the host data on the
server (both system-collected and user-defined data) except for user-assigned names for the device
port, device node, and device enclosure information.
To delete a host from active discovery, complete the following steps.
1. Select Discover > Host Adapters.
The Discover Host Adapters dialog box displays.
2. Select the host you want to delete from active discovery in the Discovered Hosts table.
3. Click Delete.
4. Click OK on the confirmation message.
The deleted host displays in the Previously Discovered Addresses table.
5. Click Close on the Discover Host Adapters dialog box.
