Issue:
If there are duplicate VMs with the same hostname, such as "localhost," this can sometimes result in VMs being incorrectly identified as system VMs and skipped for shutdown, which prevents hosts from entering maintenance mode.
Product:
PowerChute Network Shutdown
Environment:
VMware vCenter Server and ESXi hosts
Cause:
Duplicate VMs with the same hostname assigned.
Solution:
Ensure that all VMs are correctly configured with a unique hostname.
