Redeploying Edge Gateway from vCloud Director 8.10.1 after upgrade to NSX 6.2.8 fails

Products

• VMware NSX for vSphere

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• Redeploying an Edge Gateway from vCloud Director while Edge has pending upgrade fails.
• You see the error:
  
  VSM response error (10220): Appliance has to be upgraded before performing any configuration change.

Environment

VMware NSX for vSphere 6.2.x

Cause

This issue occurs due to the storage vMotion of the Edge Gateway Service appliance that is configured and the current datastore locations are different. During the redeployment of the Edge from vCloud Director, vCD triggers the Edge deployment on the configured datastore which causes the deployment to fail as the appliance configuration changes are not allowed by the NSX Manager while the upgrade is pending.

Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VMware NSX for vSphere 6.2.x.

Currently, there is no resolution.

To work around this issue, update the Edge configured datastore as the current datastore either from the User Interface or using the following API.

For example:

Get https://181.126.111.111/api/4.0/edges/edge-39/appliances

Note: Do not make any change to the configuration and ensure to add the same configuration back from the GET body. This updates the configured datastore Appliance setting to the current state.

For example:

Put https://181.126.111.111/api/4.0/edges/edge-39/appliances
