Hi!
Recently I've completed interactive upgrade of 14 esxi 5.0 hosts up to 5.1 using installation CD. I've added all hosts to my vCenter inventory and performed full installation of 2 ESXi 5.1 hosts. But before that I forgot to remove them from inventory (just restarted them into maintenance mode).
Now I can't add them to inventory because I've no available vsphere licenses to be attached. Web Client shows me 2 “null” hosts in license inventory with attached licenses but no any actions are allowed on the hosts.
License manager allowed me to add one of these hosts to vCenter Inventory but after that LM says me that my license is overfilled. vCenter prohibits now any attempts to add the least ESXi host.
Moreover, that standalone client shows me only 13 hosts and “-2” vpshere licenses available.
Is there any way to remove this “null” hosts from license manager?
