Editing the NTP settings in SDDC Manager on VCF 5.0 fails with IP is invalid

Products

• VMware Cloud Foundation

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

The following message is shown for valid FQDN entries (one or more):
"IP <ntp_fqdn> is invalid"

 

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.0

Cause

The validation logic incorrectly assumes only IP addresses can be provided as NTP servers. As a result when an FQDN is provided it reports back that it is unable to accept such a value.

Resolution

Currently there is no resolution. This will be fixed in the future release.

Workaround:

To workaround the issue, use the IP address of the provided FQDN of the NTP Server.
