Issue/Introduction

This is a tool to detect NSX manager MP2Policy promotion issues related to mixed mode scenarios and provides steps to remediate these mixed mode issues.

Environment

VMware NSX-T Data Center
VMware NSX

Cause

The MP2Policy (Manager to Policy) tool does not support promotion of objects created by Manager using Policy objects. If such configuration exists, the promotion process fails, and it is called mixed mode.

2. Import the /config/corfu files into the test NSX manager.
      a.Deploy a 1 node NSX manager in test environment with same version as production NSX manager.
