Resync commands for LM and GM.

Products

• VMware NSX Networking

Issue/Introduction

Purpose of this document is to distinguish the list of resync command between GM and LM so that indexing issue can be avoided.

Symptoms:

No configuration details on the Global Manger although can see the pushed configuration on the LMs

Environment

VMware NSX-T

Cause

Re-sync commands of the Local Manager should not be on the Global Manager

Resolution

resync command and its attributes:
sa-nsxmgr-01> start search resync
  manager         Full re-sync for search data store used by NSX Manager
  policy          Full re-sync for search data store used by Policy
  csm             Full re-sync for search data store used by CSM
  global-manager  Full re-sync for search data store used by global-manager
  inventory       Full re-sync for search data store used by Inventory
  idps-reporting  Full re-sync for search data store used by idps-reporting
  telemetry       Full re-sync for search data store used by telemetry
  all             Full re-sync for search data store for all services

list of supported arguments on GM

manager Full re-sync for search data store used by NSX Manager
global-manager Full re-sync for search data store used by global-manager
inventory Full re-sync for search data store used by Inventory
telemetry Full re-sync for search data store used by telemetry
all Full re-sync for search data store for all services

 

list of supported arguments on LM

manager Full re-sync for search data store used by NSX Manager
policy Full re-sync for search data store used by Policy
inventory Full re-sync for search data store used by Inventory
idps-reporting Full re-sync for search data store used by idps-reporting
telemetry Full re-sync for search data store used by telemetry
all Full re-sync for search data store for all services

 

Note: Unsupported command will be removed in version 3.2.3, 4.0.2 and 4.1.1

Workaround:

Re-sync commands of the Local Manager should not be run on the Global Manager.
running "start search resync policy" on GM wipes of the policy configuration data and to resolve
"start search resync global-manager/all" needs to be executed.

Additional Information

Impact/Risks:

If we run the LM commands on the GM then indexing of the GM DB may get corrupt/lost, which won't affect the data plane but you may won't see the desired output(configuration) details on the GM GUI.

Then to fix the issue need resync the on the GM manager needs to be executed .
