      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I got a vm that I am unableto add back into vcenter&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The vm intially got grayed out. Then I went into the datastore and saw a lcl file still there. Also there was vswp and could not view the vmx file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tracked down the host the vm still had a process running on. then i killed it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;then I remove that vm and tried to re-register it but keep getting this error&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The speciied key, name or identifier already exists&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;but I cannot find that vm in the inventory&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;any idea?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
