The Infoblox IPAM plugin hardcodes the 'default' DNS view name, causing a mismatch with NIOS 9.1 where it is named 'Internal DNS'.

Issue/Introduction

Following a NIOS upgrade to version 9.1, the Infoblox.IPAM.Network.dnsView parameter becomes non-functional in the VMware Infoblox IPAM plugin v1.5.4.

Error Details: VM provisioning failed during the IP allocation phase with the following error:

"IP ALLOCATE failed: Action run failed with the following error: Infoblox HTTP request failed with: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://[FQDN]/wapi/v2.7/record:host?name=####.####.###.###.io&network_view=default&view=default..."

 

Environment

Aria Automation 8.18.x

Cause

The Infoblox IPAM plugin uses a hardcoded DNS view name ("default"). However, NIOS 9.1 has renamed this default view to "Internal DNS", causing the API calls to fail. A permanent fix is required from the Infoblox plugin side to make the DNS view name configurable or dynamically detected.

 

Resolution

As an immediate workaround to unblock deployment, specify the correct view name ("Internal DNS") as a custom property at the project or template level.

The fix will be released in the upcoming 8.18.1 Cumulative Update 6, with tentative General Availability (GA) scheduled for the first week of October ,2026.
