The VM in question MAY have been on Prox Host 12 at some point in its life. In OCS Inventory, it is correctly reporting that the VM in question is hosted on Prox Host 15.

However Prox Host 12 still lists the VM under miscellaneous and it is still listed twice in the OCS database.

The VM Name in Proxmox is prox-ts-prod-84, buts its host name is prox-ts-prod-1.
