Device "management IP" issue

For the servers I have that run ESXi, the management IP is shown as the iDRAC IP for some (which is desired), and for others it's the ip of the vsphere that manages the hosts (which if clicked just takes me to the vmware vsphere welcome page... not very helpful).

 

Additionally, the IP's shown in the main table when viewing device groups are inconsistent, some show the iDRAC IP and others show the esx IP (not the vsphere IP like above).

---------------------------
As an example of both the above - a server has the following:

Hostname: hypervisor1

iDRAC IP: 10.8.8.1

iDRAC Domain: drac.company.com

ESX IP: 10.8.9.1

ESX Domain: esx.company.com

Registered on vsphere with IP 10.8.10.1

 

What I see in the openmanage console:

Name: hypervisor1

IP Address: 10.8.8.1 (idrac IP)

Management IP: 10.8.10.1 (vsphere IP)

 

Other hosts might have the iDRAC as the IP address and the management address, or the ESX IP as the IP address and the vsphere IP as the management address... it's random.

---------------------------

I wish I could say there's some consistency with the issue... like devices discovered in a certain way exhibit x issue... but no such pattern seems to exist.

    Another issue is that days remaining for warranty uses lexicographic sorting instead of treating them like integers

    Not sure if this would apply to other fields as well (hostnames, IP's, etc) as I have fixed lengths there.. but should be checked.
