Cause

Compute manager 'Connection Status' is 'Down' in NSX manager.

Resolution

* Check why vCenter Connection Status is Down.
* Edit compute manager and update password/thumbprint if required.
Steps -
- In NSX manager UI go to System > Fabric > Compute Managers
- Check Connection status. It should be 'Up'. See screenshot below for reference.
- If the status is down. Click edit and update password and thumbprint. This will re-register compute manager. Check connection status again, it should be Up.
