Closed as program error.
Error description
A cluster is never deleted if it remains empty, with no hypervisors in it. Moreover the future probes will fail if a new cluster is created with the same name after the first one has been deleted from vCenter. ESXi probe contains following error: BTAVM2207E Calculation of the summary data for the <hypervisor name> failed. The errors are caused by following update which fails because of an index violation ( unique index on CLUSTER_NAME + DOMAIN_NAME ): update T_RES_CLUSTER set CLUSTER_UID=?, CLUSTER_NAME=?, CLUSTER_TYPE=?, DOMAIN_NAME=? where CLUSTER_UID=? And older cluster with the same name and domain, which has been deleted from vCenter still exists in SC database. Because of that older cluster, hypervisor new clusters are not correctly updated. Scenario which lead to this error: Create a new cluster 'C_NEW' Move ESXi hosts from 'C' to 'C_NEW' Delete 'C' Renamed 'C_NEW' to 'C' The initial 'C' remains in the SC database. Even if retention period was 2 weeks, and 19 days went by since its last discover time, it was not deleted from the database.
