Issue/Introduction
When customers use the Cluster Resource > Properties > Cluster Configuration > DRS Configuration > Affinity Rules property to retrieve cluster affinity rule details in the Aria Operations UI or report, the output displays the affinity rule information in JSON format. Instead of showing the virtual machine names, it shows the VM IDs.
Environment
Aria Operations 8.X
Resolution
This output format follows the product design, as VM names are not unique within a given vCenter (For Example: We can have same VM name for multiple VMs within a vCenter)
To deal with this ask, you can match the VM IDs with the corresponding VM names from the inventory and locate the associated VM name. It's important to note that IDs may repeat across different vCenters.
Therefore, we should also consider the vCenter ID, as shown in the screenshot below:
