Now, let's assume you removed remotesiteA from the user interface by clicking the

corresponding button for the site and then the Refresh Now button near the bottom of the Global Reporter page (Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration in HP Systems Insight Manager). Even though the remote site has been removed from the user interface, it still appears in the tnsnames.ora file. If you add remotesiteA as a remote site for global reporting again, another listing will be added to the tnsnames.ora file. These dual listings do not negatively impact the product.
