11.1.14 Changing the device information associated with the hardware asset information

You can manually change the device information associated with the hardware asset information.

You can associate the device information with hardware asset information of different devices or the hardware asset information with multiple items of device information.

For example, in an environment in which two virtual computers are configured on one physical computer, the hardware asset information of three different computers is registered if each computer is handled as a management target. However, only one computer actually exists. To correctly manage the hardware asset information, you need to associate the device information of the two virtual computers with the hardware asset information of the physical computer, and remove the unnecessary hardware asset information of the virtual computers.

The following example illustrates how to change the associated device information to correctly manage the hardware asset information.
