Virtual Machines With the Same Name in a vApp

Symptom:

When I create virtual machines with the same virtual machine name in the same vApp, the virtual machines are not discovered properly.

Solution:

Do not create multiple virtual machines with the same VM name under the same vApp. This restriction only applies to virtual machines with the same name that have the same immediate parent. For example, do not create two Virtual Machines named "TestVM" under vApp "TestVApp". However, if vApp "TestVApp" has two vApps named "TestVApp1" and "TestVApp2", you can create one virtual machine "TestVM" under TestVApp1 and another "TestVM" under TestVApp2.
