Now when I try to add these VMs in FSRM it gives me an error saying host already exists (88). When I researched on NOW site this kind of error gets displayed with Simulators as they have same serial number however I could not find any documentation regarding the VMs or server with FSRM. It seems as I cloned those VM some unique identities also got cloned which is being checked by FRSM and thus it is just detecting one VM in spite of multiple VMs. I have also made the entries in DNS but still facing the issue. I would request if anyone has faced this kind of problem and knows the magic trick to fix it.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:09:20 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Active-IQ-Unified-Manager-Discussions/Unable-to-add-Cloned-VMs-to-FSRM/m-p/74416#M15481 abhi3 2025-06-05T07:09:20Z Re: Unable to add Cloned VMs to FSRM https://community.netapp.com/t5/Active-IQ-Unified-Manager-Discussions/Unable-to-add-Cloned-VMs-to-FSRM/m-p/74420#M15483 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>HI Abhi,</P><P></P><P>The reason is because every installation of NTAPagent creates a unique "Agent ID"</P><P>But in this case, cloning VMs also copied this unique ID across VMs.</P><P>You need to re-generated the host agent ID number</P><P></P><DIV id="_mcePaste">How to regenerate the host agent ID number?</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV id="_mcePaste">By deleting the existing host agent ID number, you can force NetApp Host Agent to generate a new</DIV><DIV id="_mcePaste">host agent ID number when it restarts.</DIV><DIV id="_mcePaste">Steps</DIV><DIV id="_mcePaste">1.
