Environment

VMware NSX-T Data Center 3.2.x

Cause

If Service Insertion is configured for a cluster, "com.vmware.nsx.spf.enabled = true" property will be set in the host switch properties. During NVDS to CVDS migration, by default the NVDS removal will not remove this property. This leads to the host sending a config error reply to the NSX management plane, which results in NVDS to CVDS migration failure.

Resolution

Issue is fixed in NSX 3.2.1, 3.2.4

 

Workaround:

If an upgrade is not possible please open a case with Broadcom Support and reference this KB.
