Duplicate Network adapters for servers

Miguel Lara

If I go to the identification rules for network adapter class, "name" and "MAC address" are used together for identification. We have a manually entered network adapter with a name and a MAC address, however, Discovery is creating a new record with the same Name and the same MAC address (only difference is capitalization in the MAC). My question is; what could cause Discovery to create a new network adapter instead of matching the one that is already in CMDB?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Miguel.

Are you using patterns? If so there are relationships that need to exist that the IRE would need to see. I talk about that here. If those relationships are not there, then it will create a duplicate.

That I could not tell you, unfortunately.. perhaps you had something with the case?  Its a stretch but you might try changing that to see if it does anything.
