Distributed Firewall Rules in "Deletion in Progress" state on Global Manager.

Products

• VMware vDefend Firewall

Issue/Introduction

• You have deleted rules from the Global Manager, and they are pending deletion. 
• Rules pending for deletion have a trash can icon next to the rule stating "Deletion in Progress, refresh table to see updates."
• Rules have been pending for deletion for quite some time.
• The rules are deleted from the Local Manager sites but still appear in the Global Manager.

Environment

NSX Federation 4.x

Resolution

Workaround 1:

Trigger a full sync between the Local Manager & Global Manager

POST https://<Local-NSX-Manager-IP>/policy/api/v1/infra/full-sync-action?action=request_full_sync

 

Workaround 2:

Perform a rolling reboot of the Local Managers followed by the Global Managers.

 

If this does not work, open a case with Broadcom support and select the vDefend Firewall or NSX firewall product.
