Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
  • After removing a CVDS from TN, the cfgAgent cannot clear some CVDS properties such as "com.vmware.net.portset.fc.enabled" and "com.vmware.net.portset.fc.mcast.enabled" for this switch on Grindcore Maintenance
  • Running the net-dvs -l command indicates that the switch cannot be swapped from vswitch to cswitch.


Environment

VMware NSX-T

Cause

This is by design. CfgAgent cannot clear properties of CVDS.

Resolution

Currently, there is no resolution.

Workaround:
To work around this issue, use one of these options:
  • Option 1: Force hot-swap by this command on ESX host:
/usr/lib64/vmware/nsx-opsagent/bin/nsxcfg-vswitch -s
  • Option 2:
  1. Clear "fc.mcast" property by net-dvs:
net-dvs -u "com.vmware.net.portset.fc.mcast.enabled" -p hostPropList switch_name
  1. Clear "fc.enabled" property by net-dvs:
net-dvs -u "com.vmware.net.portset.fc.enabled" -p hostPropList switch_name
