Well

i did all the instructions from http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003829

before posting.

BUT today i see the VMotion done the job some mystery way ...  (no vmotion's tsk shown on the vCenter and the ESX)

now i able to remove it from inventory and do all the regular tasks.

So this case can be closed.
