Symptoms

• A single ESX record is updated multiple times.
• On every update, the morid, ip address, etc. changes

Release

All

Cause

• ESX data is fetched by the 'VMWare - vCenter ESX Hosts' probe.
• The identifier for the ESX server is correlation_id.
• In this case, there were multiple ESX hosts with the same correlation_id and serial number. Due to this, the same ESX record is getting updated.

Resolution

• Check with VMWare admin to understand why multiple ESX servers share the same correlation_id and serial number.
• To temporarily resolve the issue, modify the ESX identifier.
