Hi @snowsid88 ,

 

Serial number alone should not be the identification, You can update the IRE rule on base table computer or you can create a new IRE on AIX or linux server which checks the combination of fields like serial number, operating system and name.

 

This way, even if the serial number is the same, the OS and hostname will help tell them apart. Instead of using just one ID (serial number), we’re using a combination (serial number + OS + name). That makes each server unique.

 

Mark it helpful if this helps you to understand. Accept solution if this give you the answer you're looking for
