  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When multiple Cisco Nexus devices are present into domain scope,
    the NexusContainers stitcher add the correct containment only
    for the first discovered device
    
    As 'm_Name' column from workingEntities table is unique, further
    containment inserts will fail
    

Local fix

  • Replace the following line from stitcher:
    
    nexus2kContainerName = eval(text, '$nexus2kName') + '_' +
    eval(text,'&m_LocalNbr->m_Nexus2kId');
    
    with
    
    nexus2kContainerName = eval(text, '$nexus2kName') + '_' +
    eval(text, '&m_BaseName') + '_' +
    eval(text,'&m_LocalNbr->m_Nexus2kId');
