Hi, I have a couple of HP server acting as vmware hosts and I detected that since the iLO shares the network port in lansweeper assets page sometimes i see the iLo data and sometimes the vmware ones. Has anyone faced this problem? is there a workaround for this?
thanks in advance

A device will be overwritten by another device if it shares one or more MAC addresses with the other device. Shared MAC addresses explain the behavior you are seeing. You can blacklist the shared MAC addresses to prevent an overwrite, but keep in mind that each device would still need to have at least one unique MAC address. It might be better to just exclude the iLO from scanning under Scanning\Scanning Targets.
If you would like to attempt blacklisting MAC addresses instead, a sample script for doing so can be seen below. You will need to insert the shared MAC address into the script and run it under Configuration\Database Scripts. Proceed with caution when running scripts and always create a database backup first. Backup instructions can be found in this article.

INSERT INTO tsysMacBlacklist (Mac, Comment) VALUES ('00:00:00:00:00:00 ', 'your blacklist comment')
GO
UPDATE tsysupdate SET MacBlacklist = GETDATE()
