Solution:
This warning is like an issue reported in VMware knowledge base document 67671. vCenter Server Appliance displays a warning message on ESXi Host Client (67671) (vmware.com ), but it can be ignored as it does not affect the operation of the PowerChute VM.

Note: When the same PowerChute VM is viewed through VMware vCenter Server, the OS is reported as AlmaLinux 64bit Linux.
