I came across this today and it took me quite a while to figure out what happened. I migrated a vSphere 5 environment from vNetwork Standard Switch to vNetwork Distributed Switch. Afterwards I deleted all old Standard Switches, but I had two Portgroups in Home->Inventory->Networking with Virtual Machines connected to them. Strange, as the vSwitches were gone.
After checking logs and playing around I found that these VMs had a snapshot. After deleting the snapshots the orphaned Port Groups disappeared, so I can now head off to HP Discover in Vienna.

But if you install HP’s management agents and take a look at the System Management Homepage or integrate your ESX into System Insight Manager, you will see a warnings for each NIC that has no link.
Using a FC Tape Library inside a Virtual Machine
17. Februar 2010A costumer uses a HP MSL6000 Tape Library for his Backups. The library is direct attached to a server via SCSI, but now we are moving towards VMware. What to do? Use a NSR and get that thing into his SAN.
