•Multiple entries in SE may result when modifying username and password in HP SIM - If you use Discovery from HP SIM, the user name and passwords for those elements are forwarded HP SE. If you modify a user name for an element in Discovery from HP SIM, the modification is passed to HP SE as a new discovery entry for that element. The entry with the old user name is not removed from HP SE. This is also true for password modification. Unless removed, the invalid entry is included in Discovery from HP SE.

•Testing Discovery from HP SE (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home > Discovery > Setup) lets you test an IP address and its credentials, so you can diagnose discovery problems.
