It's possible to have same-named hosts on different, connected sites. If the HW/SW Inventory is enabled on these hosts then the link to a host's inventory tree view displays the trees of all same-named hosts on the same page.

In general it's not possible to display any of these inventory trees because it's undecidable which inventory tree data belongs to which host: the host inventory tree data was created locally or synced (eg. via liveproxyd). In this case the data of the local host might have been overwritten by the remote one (or the other way round).
