VMRemovedEvent marks the state as empty while Discovery for the removed VM marks the state as "Terminated". The state must be uniform via Discovery and vCenter Event Collector - Known Error

VMRemovedEvent marks the state as empty while Discovery for the removed VM marks the state as "Terminated". The state must be uniform via Discovery and vCenter Event Collector Description vCenter Event Integration - VM Delete event set deleted VM state to empty, while discovery set undiscovered VM state to Terminated. This is inconsistent.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up vCenter event collector 2. Remove a VM from the vCenter 3. event collector marks the state of the VM to empty

1. Stop the vCenter event collector 2. Remove another VM from the vCenter 3. Perform vCenter discovery 4. Discovery marks the state of the VM to Terminated

The state must be uniform(Terminated) via both the Discovery and vCenter Event Collector

Workaround Workaround is to modify script include CloudCIReconciler (3dcff232cb1012009d29549ea34c9cac)

Locate lines below:

// Set install status to 'retired' vmInstanceGr.install_status = '7';

state = '' + vmInstanceGr.state; if (state != 'terminated' && state !== '') { vmInstanceGr.setValue('state', ''); vmInstanceGr.update(); }
