I suggest it is because you once had 'ssh' on each of them. The test ran, then you took it off of all but one. 30-mins later, the test result on the unwanted hosts turned purple.

If you click on the purple bubble and look at the history, how long was it green? Exactly one test cycle?

After putting in these entries, the vCenter shows up fine in the Web interface but the ESXi hosts all show up with an "ssh" column - and red entries for all!

About 30 minutes later, they've turned to purple.
