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 servers, edit the abiquo.properties file and set the "abiquo.virtualmachine.namesperdc" property 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
