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. The property can be validated using CLI.
[root@esx:~] net-dvs -l 

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

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