One of the VMs running in our ESX3.0.2 environment started showing as '[servername] (invalid)' in our Vcentre. So I removed it from the inventry with the intention of re-adding at and all being well. However, after re-adding it (using the 'vmware-cmd -s register' command on the host) it is now coming up in our Vcentre as 'unknown (invalid)'. Making me think I've taken a step back rather than forward! The VM is still running as far as I can tell, but Vcentre has no usable info about it...
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
