This is not a future-proof solution. Your next kernel update will mess this 
up. A non-HP server running the same kernel would also match.

Devices where the sysdesc is device specific do not have any real problems 
with matching templates.

In this case, you may want to specify the model in the bb-hosts file, e.g.:

192.168.34.254 server001 # DEVMON:model(compaq;server)
