Rename a vSphere Cluster

This site will be decommissioned on December 31st 2024. After that date content will be available at techdocs.broadcom.com.

You can use the vSphere Client to rename a cluster managed by SDDC Manager. The SDDC Manager UI is updated with the new name.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you do not rename a cluster in the following conditions:

When the cluster belongs to a workflow that is in progress.
When the cluster belongs to a failed VI workload domain workflow, cluster workflow or host workflow. If you try to rename a cluster that belongs to a failed workflow, restart of the failed workflow will not be supported.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, click Inventory > Workload Domains.
Click a workload domain.
Click the Clusters tab.
Click the name of the cluster that you want to rename.
Click Actions > Open in vSphere Client.
In the vSphere Client, right-click the cluster and then click Rename.
Enter a new name for the cluster and click OK.

Note: It takes up to two minutes for the new name to appear on the SDDC Manager UI.
