Environment

PlateSpin Migrate 9.1 +
PlateSpin Protect 10.1 +

Situation

When attempting to discover a Virtual Center server with a cluster name that exists multiple times (for example, configured in multiple datacenters), the discovery fails with the following error:

The given key was not present in the dictionary

Resolution

The cluster names in use need to be made unique across datacenters or ESX servers need to be discovered individually without using Virtual Center credentials or access.
