Windows Server 2022 VMs not visible in license cost driver

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

• In Aria Operations, Windows Server 2022 virtual machines (VMs) are not appearing as expected within the License Cost Driver screen. This prevents administrators from accurately assigning or calculating licensing costs for workloads running this specific operating system version.
• Attempting to update License prices on cost drivers and found counts for Windows and RHEL were incorrect
• This is also impacting Windows Server 2025 and RHEL 7/8/9.

 

Environment

VMware Aria Operations 8.18.x

Resolution

This is a limitation in Aria Operations. Fixed in VMware Cloud Foundation Operations 9.0 and higher. See Download Broadcom products and software for steps to download this release.
