Selecting Virtual servers on ESX Server Details

DirtySouth Dec 18, 2009 4:01 PM

I'm trying to figure out if this is normal behavior or a bug. When I'm viewing one of my ESX boxes, on the ESX Details page, what should happen when I click on one of the virtual machines? I would assume that it would take me to the Virtual Machine's details page (Node Details page). Instead, it prompts me with, "Do you want to manage XXXXXX with Orion?". All of these virtual machines are already managed by Orion. Can someone confirm? If this is by design, help me understand why.

I ran into this much earlier on.. from what I can tell Orion links a VM to an ESX host by way of the monitored NIC.
So they don't know the linking between the VM and the Orion Node unless you are also monitoring the vNIC inside the VM. Orion is assuming without this link that the node is not monitored and asks you to add it to monitoring.
So the fix is just to go through all your VMs and add vNIC into monitoring and then your linking between ESX and VM will be made..

  Thanks for the feedback. I'll give this a shot on a few VMs and see what happens.
