Zusammenfassung:An approach is provided in which a distributed management appliance receives active device type identifiers from a computing system included in a distributed environment. The distributed management appliance identifies legacy device types from the active device type identifiers that fail to correspond to devices currently supported by the distributed management appliance. In turn, the distributed management appliance includes legacy device type identifiers and supported device type identifiers in a customized support matrix and distributes the customized support matrix to each of the computing systems included in the distributed environment.
