vCenter Server alarm names may display as "Exhaustion on 10"

Products

• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

When the vCenter Server alarm name contains the words "Exhaustion on", a number is displayed, such as "Exhaustion on 10".

* Example
Boot Disk Exhaustion on 10
Core and Inventory Disk Exhaustion on 10
CPU Exhaustion on 10

Environment

vCenter Server 7.0, vCenter Server 8.0

Cause

This is because the vCenter Server was deployed using only an IP address, resulting in the PNID being the IP address. Since the first period of the PNID is used as the vCenter Server name in the alarm, only the first octet is displayed if the PNID is an IP address.

Resolution

This does not indicate a problem, so no action is required.
