Unable to change Transport node profile TNP of a VLCM enabled NSX cluster

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• When you try to detach the TNP from a VLCM cluster, the options are greyed out as below :
  
  

Environment

VMware NSX 

Cause

For vSphere Lifecycle Manager to get access to the NSX image, you must configure the cluster with a transport node profile. Hence, this is an expected behavior when vLCM is enabled on a vCenter Cluster; it is mandatory to have a TNP, and we cannot detach it.

Resolution

Instead of detaching the TNP, please click 'Configure NSX' on the cluster level and select the desired TNP from the list.

This will reconfigure the hosts in the cluster based on the newly applied TNP.
