Products

• VCF Operations

Issue/Introduction

• vCenter Server itself reflects the correct details, the VCF Operations inventory UI maps an incorrect vCenter FQDN to the domain.
• In VCF Operations under /Manage/Licenses & Registration the Licensed Assets showing incorrect display name of the vCenter 

Environment

Aria Operations 8.18.x
VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations 9.x

Cause

• This is known cosmetic UI issue with no functional impact on system operations. Following the initial deployment and configuration of a VCF Operations environment or a Brownfield Workload Domain import in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), administrators may need to update the display name of a vCenter Server adapter instance.

Resolution

Depending on how the vCenter Server was added to Aria Operations/VCF Operations, use one of the following methods to safely rename the vCenter Server adapter display name.

1. Method 1: Standard Adapter Rename.
   Use this procedure if the vCenter Server adapter was added directly.

   • Navigate to Data Sources > Integrations.

   • Select the Accounts tab.

   • Locate the target vCenter Server adapter instance.

   • Click the vertical ellipsis (three dots) next to the adapter and select Edit.

   • In the Name field, remove the existing name and enter the new display name.

   • Click Save.

2. Method 2: Inventory Management Rename.
   Use this procedure if the vCenter Server was added via a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) adapter instance, or if the standard rename option is restricted in the Integrations UI.

   • Navigate to Administration > Configuration > Inventory Management.

   • Search for the vCenter Server using its current display name.

   • Select the target vCenter Server object. Verify that both the Object Type and Adapter Type are listed as vCenter to ensure the correct object is selected.

   • Click the Edit ✏️ option from the Inventory Toolbar options located on the Object tab.

   • Modify the display name as required.

   • Click Save to confirm and apply the changes.
