• This issue occurs when you are using Cloud Director 10.4.1 or later.

Note: The preceding log excerpts are only examples. Date, time, and environmental variables may vary depending on your environment.

Environment

VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.x

Cause

This issue occurs because Cloud Director Availability is not IP Space aware, this results in Cloud Director Availability not being able to list the available Organization NSX Edge Gateways when IP Spaces are in use.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in Cloud Director Availability 4.6.1 available at Broadcom Downloads.

Workaround:
To workaround this issue, do not use IP Spaces in Organizations that are enabled for replication in Cloud Director Availability.
