EngineID is not necessary for device discovery. However, if seedfile is used to populate sm_trapd with snmp v3 credentials for trap processing, then the EngineID is needed.
If updating a device from SNMPv2 to SNMPv3, the device does not need to be deleted, a rediscover from seedfile is all that is needed.
