Duplicate guest diskPath for VM

[LDEFJCD]

Hi all,

I search without success in the communities for the error "Duplicate guest diskPath for VM".

The administrator in charge of the VMware infrastructure send me these lines (I have changed the VM names):

[2011-11-14 05:49:45.022 04204 error 'App' opID=HB-host-50894@4485951] [VpxdMoVm] Duplicate guest diskPath for VM xxxxxx: /lun/app1

The servers xxxxxx and yyyyyy are on the same cluster but they do not have shared disk.

The server zzzzzz is on a cluster in an other Datacenter.

These errors are recurring every day.

I would be happy if you have some ideas on the reasons of these errors.

Thanks in advance.
