Management Workload domain accounts are disconnected in SDDC

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager

Issue/Introduction

 All the accounts associated with the management workload domain are disconnected.

 VDT shows:
            [FAIL]    Edge Transport Nodes for ####### 
                        ##### does not exist in SDDC Manager DB.
                        #####  does not exist in SDDC Manager DB.
                        #####  does not exist in SDDC Manager DB.
                        ##### does not exist in SDDC Manager DB.
                        ##### does not exist in SDDC Manager DB.
                        #####  does not exist in SDDC Manager DB. 

 

 

 

Environment

SDDC Manager 5.x

Cause

VDT output seems to indicate a mismatch between SDDC Manager reference to these accounts and NSX-T.

However, NSX-T Edge node window shows that the names exactly match.

 

Resolution

This issue occurs because SDDC did not trust the signing cert for the MGMT ESXi hosts. (VMCA). 

See:

To resolve it, update SDDC manager with the current certificate in vCenter as indicated in the KB article above.
