Host NQN missing in vSphere UI after NVME over TCP creation

Products

• VMware vSphere ESX 7.x

Issue/Introduction

• After setting up NVME over TCP there is no Host NQN populated in the "Add Controller" section

• The Host NQN is listed on the host when querying 

esxcli nvme info get 
	Host NQN: nqn.####-##.com.####:nvme:host01

Environment

ESXi 7.x

Cause

• nvmeQualifiedName is not set in the MOB
• VPXD is not persisting the qualified name list in the VCDB

Resolution

• Upgrade to VC 8.0 U1
• If upgrading is not possible, then restarting management agents or rebooting the host is the only workaround
