Environment

Novell ZENworks Asset Management 11.1
Novell ZENworks Asset Management 11.2
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.1 Inventory
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 Inventory

Situation

After each Inventory scan, hardware components are being added for the same device, so it may appear to have dozens of CPUs or serial ports for example
