Abstract

A controller, which manages nodes that provide virtual entities, receives information from a first of the nodes, where the received information relates to a characteristic of a virtual entity provided by the first node. The controller determines that the received information is inconsistent with information, maintained by the controller, relating to the characteristic of the virtual entity provided by the first node. In response to the determining, the controller reconciles an inconsistency between the received information and the information maintained by the controller.
