Changing Tier-0 router's display name does not update id or interface name of that gateway

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• Tier-0 router is renamed but the associated interface name still shows old name.
• In NSX Manager UI Tier-0 has been renamed form T0-Test-01 to T0-Test-01_rename.
  
  

         In the API output we can see that only display name has changed. Path and id did not change.

    GET https://<nsx-manager>/policy/api/v1/infra/tier-0s/

    "id": "T0-Test-01",

    "display_name": "T0-Test-01_rename",

    "path": "/infra/tier-0s/T0-Test-01",

        Use the following curl command if API call is made from CLI -

    curl -k -u admin -X GET "https://localhost/policy/api/v1/infra/tier-0s/"

Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

For tier-0 and other objects of NSX policy id is an immutable attribute.

Resolution

Create new Tier-0 with desired name to change id of Tier-0.
