IV98715: SHALLOW DISCOVERY OF VIRTUAL CENTER CAUSES RECONCILIATION PLUGINNOT TO RUN AND CS NAME AND OS LMT ARE UPDATED.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using Shallow VM discovery(shallowVMdiscovery=true) with
  Virtual Center Sensor the reconciliation plugin does not run.
  This causes the CS name to be overwritten by the Virtual Center
  sensor and the LMT on the OS to update.
  
  There was issue while merging of Operating System and Computer
  System when VMID is false which is the
  case of shallow discovery. Merging issue was occurring while
  doing reconciliation and caused by the plugin not firing when
  shallow VM discovery is true.
  

Local fix

• NA
