Cleanup Stale Edge Nodes present in the NSX-T UI from the Corfu database

Products

• VMware NSX
• VMware NSX-T Data Center

Issue/Introduction

• Stale Edge entries are present on the NSX-T UI, even after the Edge TNs are deleted from the NSX-T and vSphere inventory.

Environment

VMware NSX-T Data Center

VMware NSX

Cause

• This can be a result of incorrectly deleting the Edge TN.
• If the Compute Manager(CM) is deleted first and next the Edge VM that still references the deleted CM is deleted.

Resolution

Starting in NSX-T version 3.2.1 the following API is available to clean up stale Edge entries from the NSX Manager:

Method: POST
URI: https://<nsx-mgr>/api/v1/transport-nodes?action=clean_stale_entries

 

If POSTMAN is not available, use below curl command from root user on NSX Manager that has VIP assigned:

   
# curl -u admin -k -X POST  https://127.0.0.1/api/v1/transport-nodes?action=clean_stale_entries
