Issue/Introduction
There are many devices in our CA UIM device inventory where the name of the device does not match the actual server name.
We have a server with a hostname but it is showing up with the FQDN listed in DNS. There is no hostname alias in DNS.
Can you please advise how I can rename the device to the actual server name?
Cause
vmware probe was unable to determine the hostname for the device via DNS when the device was discovered.
Environment
Release : 20.3
Component : UIM - VMWARE
Resolution
- Add DNS alias for the hostname
- Delete device from inventory
- Rediscover device
Feedback
