Display the compute nodes with their FQDN in vCenter instead of their IP Merged

Since v2.3.3.2 of Cloud Pak System, BigFix entitlement is no longer included. Our organization is transitioning to Flexera FNMS (FlexNet Manager Suite), an IBM-certified alternative to BigFix/ILMT as described here (https://www.flexera.com/blog/it-asset-management/flexera-an-ibm-certified-alternative-for-ilmt/). It appears that Flexera FNMS requires to obtain the hostnames (presumably FQDNs – fully-qualified-domain-names) of each of the VMware ESX hosts (compute nodes) registered in VMware vCenter inside an IBM Cloud Pak System appliance. However we noticed that the VMware ESX hosts in IBM Cloud Pak System only have an IP address configured, not a hostname or FQDN. We would need IBM to set the "Entity Display Name" attribute of the ESXi hosts in vCenter with the FQDN of the compute node. This feature enhancement is needed by the customer, to be compliant for the used (IBM) software licences.
