ANYTIME we build a new ESXI host, VMAN automatically detects it through the vct. You see it on the virtualization page, but nowhere else. If you hover over the esxi host i see that is actually a totally different device that has been monitored by SolarWinds for months.
I found that the virtual device is sharing the same nodeid as a different device in NPM, so they're like conjoining themselves.
To get around this i have to completely delete the ESXI host, VCenter, and the node it shares the nodeid with. If i delete everything but the VCenter, the ESXI host will just keep adding itself back as another shared nodeid.
Is this a bug? What is the solution?
