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:
On the Abiquo Server and the Remote Services, edit the abiquo.properties file and set the
abiquo.virtualmachine.namesperdcproperty to "true"
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 vCenter hosts, but do not mix hostnames and IP addresses
