Hello Everyone, I find myself in a position where a little bit of knowledge is dangerous. I have identified that a few of our VCenters have been decommissioned which is triggering errors when the task of "Virtual Cluster Server Scans for IBM PVU" runs. This is understandable since either the VCenters have no Hosts assigned to them or they have been decommissioned.
I have gone ahead and removed the VCenters from our Discovery and Rules Tab, however, they are still being included in the 30 minute scans. I read something about "hidden" rules, perhaps they need to be removed from somewhere else.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on how to get these VCenters removed from the 30 minute IBM scans.
Thanks in Advance
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Virtual cluster server scan for IBM PVU uses known discovered devices (downloaded from FNMS server), even you delete if rules runs before update discovered devices, will use that vCenter device again and report it back.
I would suggest you to disable Virtual cluster server scan for IBM PVU (for short time) and delete the those vCenter server from All discovered device.
Make sure beacon downloaded the latest policy and known discovered devices (those should not have deleted discovered device/s). you can check it under default location C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Beacon\DiscoveryExport by looking at the time stamp.
Now enable Virtual cluster server scan for IBM PVU scan again.
Hope this will help.
