Occasionally we’ll screw up a VM clone and end up with a new hostname but the same systemid. In that case the duplicate won’t show up in Duplicate Systems and it can be somewhat difficult to spot until a scheduled action fails or acts in an otherwise surprising way or we spot it in an audit (compare Spacewalk inventory to other inventory DBs).
