We have a handful of older blades that will not longer support VCenter hardware monitoring (HP has removed the ability to monitor the hardware altogether on older chasis for esxi 5.5) after we upgrade to ESXi 5.5
if I run this sql query UPDATE APM_HardwareItem SET IsDeleted=1 where NodeID = 'X'
it will remove the icons, so this is a start but it still shows the device as undefined.
Is there a way I can make these devices show as healthy again?
