If your HCX environment has issues, you can find out the status details in CLI.
This article explains how to do an HCX health check.
Impact
This is for VMware HCX that are at version R133 or newer.
Resolution
Please run these steps on your on-prem side.
Step1. Enabling SSH on the VMware HCX Manager
Step2. Logging In to the VMware HCX Manager CLI
Step3. Using Central CLI to check HCX appliances status
3-1. Type "ccli" to enable CCLI on VMware HCX Manager
3-2. Type "list" to view a list of VMware HCX nodes (appliances).
You can find out that any appliances is not selected yet.
3-3. Type "go #" where # is the node ID.
As an example of this KB, "0" is HCX-IX、"1" is HCX-NET-EXT.
Type "go 0" first.
3-4. Type "list" to view a list of VMware HCX nodes.
You can find out that HCX-IX is selected now.
3-5. Type "hc -d" to view status of VMware HCX-IX node as below.
You can find out the status of tunnels and service resources and etc.
3-7. Type "list" to view a list of VMware HCX nodes.
You can find out that HCX-NET-EXT is selected now.
3-8. Type "hc -d" to view status of VMware HCX-NET-EXT node as below.
You can find out the status of tunnels and service resources and etc for HCX-NET-EXT as well.
