The current VCF design relies on the names of various SDDC objects, including compute clusters, datacenters, DVS, portgroups, datastores, and NSXT edge clusters, for configuration and lifecycle management. However, customers express a desire to rename these objects once they have provisioned clusters and resources.
This renaming capability allows them to organize their workloads into different categories and adhere to organizational naming conventions.
Nonetheless, the automation of VCF workflows and inventory heavily depends on the names of these objects to facilitate various use cases such as cluster expansion, shrinkage, lifecycle management, and vxrail integration.
This document, subjected to change, serves as a comprehensive reference guide outlining which objects can be renamed and the extent of support provided by SDDC Manager.
