Import New Devices

This option will import all devices that are not currently present in EMS.
The import will create an Equipment folder for each subnet present in the
HP OpenView database. All the devices in each subnet will then be
imported into the appropriate Equipment folder.
Once the initial Import has been performed, subsequent imports will
only import new devices that are not present in EMS.
An Imported HPOV Devices logical view is also created and maintained
during the import process. This provides a convenient means of
viewing all the devices that have been imported from HP OpenView.

Remove Old Devices

This option will remove all devices from EMS that have been deleted from
HP OpenView since the last import. The devices are also removed from
the Imported HPOV Devices logical view.
You can reserve an element in the explorer tree so that no one else can
perform operations on it or any of its sub-elements. Use this feature
before performing maintenance tasks on components within the explorer
tree.
To reserve an element in the explorer tree:
1 In the explorer tree, right-click an element.
2 From the pop-up menu, select Operator Reserve.
