VMware Virtual machine Instance has Status as 'Retired' and the State is 'ON'.

We are running vCenter Discovery in our Instance. After our latest discovery, we found few VMware Virtual machine Instance has Status as 'Retired', Operational Status is 'Operational' and the State is 'ON'.

In Orlando docs I found

But this is not our Case, In our case Operational Status is 'Operational' and we are newyork version. Please suggest what could the problem in our case.

Thanks,

Priyanka

Hi,

This is handled in Script include used by sensor script for the VCenter probe. BTW this was an enhancement done in Orlando and not in NY. So you have to upgrade.

Hi Ashutosh,

If I understand correctly, you are saying for NewYork version If the VMware Virtual machine Instance is removed/deleted. The fields updated will be Status as 'Retired', Operational Status is 'Operational' and the State is 'ON'(if it was ON earlier).

Are these the correct field updates?

Is this print screen from Orlando or NY release?

I have the same issue as Priyanka for a NewYork instance...

Hi Ashutosh,

This is from Newyork version.

Are these fields value correct as per Newyork version?

How can I change the operational status and state? We won't be able to upgrade to Orlando anytime soon.

Thanks,

Priyanka
