It seems like HP SIM only performs forward DNS lookups for the initial discovery of an iLO? It doesn't appear to perform forward DNS lookups after a system has been discovered to check for IP address changes.
Running HP SIM 7.5 with latest hotfix on Windows 2012 R2.
I have successfully discovered an iLO using its DNS name using HP-SIM. (actually I made an entry in the hosts file on the HP SIM server).
If I then change the hosts entry for the iLO name to point at a different IP addresss, HP SIM does not seem to pick up the change.
I am choosing "Quick Launch -> Identify Systems..." while viewing the entry for my iLO in my attempt to have HP SIM pick up the change.
A Wireshark capture shows HP SIM still communicating with the old IP address and not with the new IP.
Is this expected behavior? I would expect HP SIM to re-resolve the DNS name of my iLO when I kick off an "Identify Systems..." task.
