Issue/Introduction

  • T-1 gateway is missing from the one of the edges:



  • On the Tier-1 gateway under Networking, clicking on HA mode would show that edge missing:



  • Switching Edge cluster from Auto-Allocate to Manual Allocation and making the missing edge primary, the realization fails with java.lang.NullPointerException in the UI:



  • Running the API command: GET https://<nsx-manager-ip>/api/v1/edge-cluster shows the member index of the edges:

    "members": [
              {
                "display_name": "EDGE02",
                "member_index": 1,     
                "transport_node_id": "0660####-####-####-####-####c0ed5d46"
              },
              {
                "display_name": "EDGE01",
                "member_index": 2,
                "transport_node_id": "c7df####-####-####-####-####5fcf1e6"

  • However, the Logical Router shows different allocated edge cluster member indices such 0 and 1 using the API command GET https://<nsx-manager-ip>/api/v1/logical-routers/#####-T1:

    display_name": "#####-T1",
            "edge_cluster_id": "22b1####-####-####-####-####7e60910",
            "edge_cluster_member_indices": [
              0,
              1       
            ],

    which means that there is a stale ResourceAllocation object attached to the Tier-1 Logical Router, which needs to be removed.

Environment

VMware NSX-T 3.2.x
VMware NSX 4.x.x

Cause

Tier-1 gateway is allocated on an edge which was deleted and realization is failing while relocating it to a different edge.

Resolution

The issue will be resolved in VCF 9.1.
