Hosts not mapped to virtual machines when using VMware connector
When the VMware connector is used, virtual machines are not mapped to hosts in Snow License Manager.
Snow Integration Manager 6.1.0.
Steps to repoduce
- Snow Inventory Agent is installed on the virtual machine.
- Snow Inventory Agent is installed on hosts.
- The VMware connector is used to pull host and VM relationship.
- DCC auto connect is configured to build data centers.
When you run VMware aggregation, the below error is shown:
