Issue/Introduction
This article provides information on how to resolve issues if HCX Interconnect tunnel is DOWN.
Symptoms:
Communication from HCX Interconnect appliances is disrupted or unavailable if uplink and vMotion are configured as the same network profile in a compute profile.
IPSec tunnel traffic doesn't go through uplink interface.
Cause
If the network profile for uplink is shared with vMotion, IPSec tunnel traffic goes through the management interface. As a result, the Interconnect tunnel will be DOWN if the management interface can't communicate with HCX appliances on VMware Cloud on AWS.
Resolution
Create separate network profiles for each function(uplink and vMotion).
