Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
When VMware HCX Multi-Site Service Mesh is created and deleted, unnecessary IP address group named like "HCX-IX-vm-***" remained in [Network & Security] > [Inventory] > [Groups] > [Management Groups] on VMware Cloud on AWS console.
User doesn't have permission to delete these objects because they are system generated.
Cause
These groups are created:
1. In HCX plug-in, create new service mesh.
2. Once the service mesh has been created, two management IP address groups similar as above created in VMC SDDC.
3. If the user creates one, the number in "HCX-IX-vm-<number>-***" will be increased.
This issue occurs because disabling/removing HCX from SDDC without removing IX appliances via HCX plug in UI. NSX API/UI does not support removing these groups.
HCX is planning to add a feature to remove IX appliances during HCX undeploy itself.
