By default, Abiquo does not allow you to capture more than one VM with the same name in the platform
For vCenter hosts and vCenter clusters, you can capture VMs with duplicate names if they are in different datacenters (and effectively, different vCenter clusters). To enable this functionality:
- Set the "abiquo.virtualmachine.namesperdc" property to true on the Abiquo Server
- When you add vCenters to Abiquo:
- For vCenter hosts, all hosts must belong to a cluster
- Add all the hosts in the same cluster to the same Abiquo datacenter
- Use hostnames or IP addresses to register vCenter hosts, but do not mix hostnames and IP addresses
