Dear All,

I have weird situation when adding new server to susemanager.

I have 2 new servers cloned from the old one what registered with susemanager already.

I tried to re-register for 2 new server.  
The second one always replace the first one in susemanager.

Do you know how to fix it?

Regards,

When cloning SUSE Manager clients, you also clone the client activation details.

Remove the /etc/sysconfig/rhn directory and all its contents before re-registering a client.

See also [http://wiki.novell.com/index.php/SUSE\_Manager/BootstrapOnServer](http://wiki.novell.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/BootstrapOnServer) for completely un-registering a system.
