SSP installer UI is not returning NSX overlay networks when trying to deploy SSP

Products

• VMware vDefend Firewall

Issue/Introduction

NSX backed segments are not listed in drop down in SSP Installer UI, when trying to deploy SSP.

Environment

SSP 5.0

Cause

This can happen when SSPI is deployed on ESXi cluster, which is not prepped as transport node(TN) in NSX.

Resolution

• Prepare ESXi cluster as TN in NSX, Where SSPI VM is running.
  Or
• Move(vMotion) the SSPI VM to ESXi cluster, which is already prepared as TN in NSX.
