3i Hosts disappearing after 'identify systems' task runs

[chris sales]

Hi - i have 3 ESX3i Hosts running on DL385 G5's. I can discover the hardware ok using the Discovery option and entering credentials for WBEM. Each night however after the 'Identify systems' task runs, the Preferred syatsem name and the Network name of the Host changes to the serial number, and states that 'Monitoring of the system is suspended indefinitely'. Has anyone seen this before or knows how to resolve. Thanks.

Maybe same issue as...

The fix is to disable the global option to automatically discover a server when it's ilo is discovered. The reason...apparently a BUG in HPSIM 5.3 SP1 wherein it ALWAYS creates a bare-metal node when identifying an ILO...even if the managed server already exists in HPSIM.
