We had a guest server, Guest01, which had an OS and a Data disk. We deleted the server but kept the Data vhdx. After building a new system on Node03 we took that Data vhdx and attached it to the new server. Now, when we look at Failover Cluster Manager and expand out the Roles, we see three different entries.
- Guest01 - which has a status of Off. If I look at the Resources tab, it shows that the storage is online but the virtual machine is off. It shows that the guest is on Node07.
- SCVMM Guest01 Resources - which has a status of Running. The Summary and Resources tabs shows "no items found." It shows that the guest is on Node08.
- SCVMM Guest01 Resources (1) - which has a status of Running. All of the tabs show that is everything good (resources shows both storage items and the virtual machine and the summary shows details of the server) and I believe this is my actual virtual machine. It shows that the guest is on Node03, which is where the server is on Hyper-V and SCVMM.
I also went to Powershell and ran Get-ClusterResource -cluster Cluster01 -Name "*Guest01*" That command came back with 4 results.

I am not sure how exactly to clean this up. I'm assuming I can just delete the first two entries I see in the GUI. I was hoping that someone had a similar situation in the past and knows how to fix this.
Thank you for the assistance.
