VKS Deployment Fails to Detect Tier-0 Gateway During Network Configuration with, "Unable to infer NSX Tier 0 Gateway for VDS <VDS UUID> and Edge Cluster <UUID>. No known Tier 0 Gateways were found in Overlay Transport Zone <UUID>"

Products

• VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service

Issue/Introduction

• When deploying the VKS service, the Tier-0 Gateway does not appear during the network configuration step. Continuing with the deployment results in the following message:

Unable to infer NSX Tier 0 Gateway for VDS <VDS UUID> and Edge Cluster <UUID>. No known Tier 0 Gateways were found in Overlay Transport Zone <UUID>

• A Tier-0 Gateway is present on the NSX Local Manager and was originally created from a Global Manager environment.
• The Edge Cluster referenced in the error exists, and its Tier-0 and Tier-1 Gateways (if applicable) are visible.
• Edge nodes in the cluster are correctly associated with the Overlay Transport Zone mentioned in the error.
• The production environment is functioning normally; the issue occurs during a new VKS deployment attempt.

Environment

VMware vSphere Supervisor
VMware NSX 4.x.x

Cause

VKS (WCP) deployment requires Tier-0 Gateways that are locally managed. In environments where NSX Federation is used and Tier-0 Gateways are created from Global Manager, the VKS workflow cannot retrieve the required Tier-0 information during deployment.

Resolution

• VKS/WCP deployment is not supported when using NSX Federation for Tier-0 Gateway management.
• To proceed with deployment, create the required Tier-0 Gateway directly on the NSX Local Manager.

For design considerations or assistance with federated environments, please consult your Professional Services representative.
