Mark and I figured out where the flaw lies in the code.

This is a regression, introduced by https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/commit/61d35f20b13f63c46a59e454d42fb5b10a01e23f

The specific issue is in https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/blame/master/integrations/opennms-vmware/src/main/java/org/opennms/netmgt/provision/service/vmware/VmwareImportRequest.java#L196-L200 – it updates the "host" settings for VMs...

Workaround would appear to be setting the importVMPoweredOff & importVMSuspended flags instead. I'll test that.

I also feel like this may have worked as documented in either 18.0 or 19.0, but I'm not sure.

I am seeing this issue too.  Could this be related to the fact that when powered off, the VMware Tools are not running and therefore don't report an IP address?
