A virtual machine or template having the same name is already registered. Server Error: The specified key, name, or identifier already exists.

Hi,

 

I have an ESXi 6/VCenter 6 environment with SQL Server 2014.

 

I removed a VM from ESXi (remove inventory). I am now trying to add this back by right clicking on the inventory and selecting add to inventory but get the error:

 

  • A virtual machine or template having the same name is already registered. Server Error: The specified key, name, or identifier already exists.

 

 

In the link VMware KB: Determining a virtual machine's associated vmx/.vmtx file I run the query specified, and see the same VM still coming up in the list. However, what do I do next to fix this? Should I remove the relevant entries from both tables? I need to add the VM back to ESXi.

 

Thanks
