IP Address or Hostname Changes
Make sure that devices are not entered into Operations Manager or the Common Services
Device Credential Repository (DCR) more than once. For example, during device
discovery, a router with multiple IP addresses may be discovered more than once,
depending on the seed device or number of hops.
If you see the same device, either in Operations Manager (by selecting Devices > Device
Management) or in the DCR, listed twice with two IP addresses, delete the device
entirely from the system through the DCR. Add that device individually back into the
DCR using a single IP address.
To avoid discovering the same device multiple times (with different IP addresses), use
Devices > Device Management and click the Configure button (the second button).
Enter the IP addresses you want to exclude.

Network Discovery and Device Management
For Operations Manager to monitor a device, you must first add the device to the Device
and Credentials Repository (DCR), which is a function of CiscoWorks Common
Services. The DCR can be synchronized with multiple CiscoWorks servers, running the
same or different applications. This is called a Management Domain. Devices can be
added to the DCR either through synchronization, one at a time, or by importing multiple
devices. In Operations Manager, you can enable discovery, which detects devices and
adds them to the DCR.
There are two device repository databases located in Operations Manager:
