This issue is resolved in VMware NSX-T Data Center 2.5.1
Note: In NSXT 3.x onwards these steps are not required.
For NSX-T 2.5.0/1 the follow steps should be followed:
- In case the OVF is hosted on a port other than Port 80, open the respective port on each NSX Manager in the cluster.
For example, if the OVF is hosted on port 1000, then this port should be opened on each of the NSX-T Managers in the cluster using the root account. After upgrading to VMware NSX-T Data Center 2.5.1:
- Log in to the NSX Manager CLI as administrator.
- Run this command "st e" to switch to root user.
- Run this command "iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1000 -j ACCEPT"
Note: The iptables rule that were manually added will not be available after the NSX Manager appliance is rebooted. Before doing any further fresh deployment, the respective custom port opening step needs to be done again.
