#Santricity API Error when creating host

Hi All,
I am encountering an issue while creating a host via the REST API on an EF600 running System Manager version 11.90.00.9026.
The Issue:
When I attempt to create a host where the name (host name) and the label are identical, the API returns an error:
"The operation cannot complete because the identifier or name you provided already exists. Please provide another identifier or name and then retry the operation. (retcode: "57)"

If I modify the label to be slightly different (e.g., adding an underscore like HostA_), the host is created successfully. It seems the system is treating both fields as unique identifiers in the same namespace, causing a conflict when they match.
My Questions:

  1. Is this a known bug in version 11.90.00.9026, or is this intended behavior for the SANtricity API?
  2. Are there any negative performance or functional implications if the Host Name and Label do not match?
    Any insights or documentation regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
