i have 38 servers but i have 78 licences... i have no idea what's happening, the problem is that when i launch a job on the new server (initial deploy) script goes in execution on the wrong one.
Please Help me!!
Thanks in advance to all

Hello,
I met this problem too. I find the 2 machines are treated as one. Because their ilo's IP address are treated as the same. I'm struggling hard to solve this problem, but no results till now.

Hi Lili

probably i solved the issue!!...
i had installed 6 licenses for 48 servers, but my blade infrastructure was composed by 10 enclosures...so i have disinstalled 6 licenses and reinstalled all the licenses for all my enclosures (10)... i made this operation several times....and now everything works fine!!!
Try same steps and let me know if it works also for you

This can be cause by several things:

IP Conflict

Enclosure name conflict. If you have enclosure 1 and enclosure 2, but have named both "bob". RDP will get confused and think that enclosure 2 bay 1 and enclosure 1 bay 1 are the same server.
