Environment

VCF 4.5.1

Cause

The removing domain workflow cannot remove the transport nodes because it fails to remove the Transport Node Profile.

Resolution

Manually detach the Transport Node Profile from within the NSX-T UI by completing the following:

1. Log in with admin privileges to an NSX Manager at https://<nsx-manager-ip-address>.
2. Select System > Fabric > Nodes > Host Transport Nodes.
3. From the Managed by drop-down menu, select the vCenter Server.
4. Select the cluster to remove
5. Click Actions
6. Click Detach TN Profile.

After the Transport Node Profile is detached, restart the task from the SDDC Manager UI.
