Occasionally cfgAgent cannot clear properties of CVDS during hot swap

Products

• VMware NSX

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.

/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

2. Clear "fc.enabled" property by net-dvs:

net-dvs -u "com.vmware.net.portset.fc.enabled" -p hostPropList switch_name
