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 "

    On the Abiquo Server and the Remote Services, edit the abiquo.properties file and set the abiquo.virtualmachine.namesperdc

    " property

    property to "true" 

    • (warning)(warning)(warning) You MUST set the same value on all servers

  • 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

      the

      vCenter hosts, but do not mix hostnames and IP addresses
