On a federated setup, capacity dashboard raise an alarm stating edge node capacity reached its threhold.

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

The NSX Capacity dashboard displays a warning for the number of edge nodes and edge clusters in the system, indicating that these values exceed the maximum supported count. This could be a false warning.

Environment

VMware NSX with Federation Setup

Cause

The capacity dashboard uses the search API and retrieves the number of counts. Search fetches all the objects of type PolicyEdgecluster and PolicyEdgeNode in the Corfu Database.

On a federated setup, edge clusters created in LM get synced to GM, and a GM copy is persisted back in the LM with the global-infra path. Due to this, the total number of edge cluster are returned as double the edge clusters/policy edge nodes present in the system.

Resolution

Fixed in NSX 9.0, NSX 4.2.2 or later.
