USM Group Filter "Dedicated = VirtualMachineHost" does not work

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

When creating a filter for a USM group filtering for "Dedicated" = "VirtualMachineHost", no results are returned.
Filtering for these servers by name returns the correct result. In the list, "VirtualMachineHost" is shown in the "Dedicated" column.

Environment

UIM 9.x.x

Cause

Even though the dedicated field for the ESX host appears in USM as "VirtualMachineHost"

In the database the entry is actually "HostSytem"

Fro this reason the USM query returns not result. 

Resolution

For filtering the "dedicated" filter for "VirtualMachineHost" in the USM groups use "HostSystem" instead.
