NSX Upgrade failing at "Corresponding NSX Host Cluster Upgrade groups not found"

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager

Issue/Introduction

• From the LCM logs observed that it's failing with "Corresponding NSX Host Cluster Upgrade groups not found"
  ERROR [vcf_lcm,0000000000000000,0000,upgradeId=XXXXXX,resourceType=NSX_T_PARALLEL_CLUSTER,resourceId=nsx.example.com:_ParallelClusterUpgradeElement,bundleElementId=[XXXXX]] [c.v.e.s.l.p.i.n.s.NsxtHostClusterParallelUpgradeStageRunner,Upgrade-13] Corresponding NSX Host Cluster Upgrade groups not found
  
  
  
• The following API gives an expected output as well:
  curl -k -v https://nsxmgr.example.com/api/v1/upgrade/upgrade-unit-groups/aggregate-info?component_type=HOST -u "username:password" 

 

 

Environment

VCF 5.2

Cause

There is mismatch of the vCenter name between SDDC Manager and NSX Manager. 

For example:

- In SDDC Manager representation of the cluster is associated with vCenter name "vcenter01.example.com" and cluster MoR "domain-c8" 
- In NSX representation the cluster is associated with vCenter name "vcenter" and cluster MoR "domain-c8"

Resolution

Workaround:

1. Set compute manager display name to vCenter FQDN from NSX Manager UI.
2. Perform NSX host cluster upgrade reset to default from NSX Manager UI.
3. Verify VCF LCM Audit reconciliation of both the representations in lcm-debug logs 
   VCF NSX host cluster representation "<vCenter-fqdn>:domain-c8"
4. Trigger NSX upgrade from VCF SDDC Manager UI
