Usage Meter calculates excess metering for clustered NSX-T Manager

Products

• VMware Usage Meter

Issue/Introduction

When registering a clustered NSX-T in Usage Meter, registering all individual NSX-T Manager nodes may lead to over-measurement for both NSX-T and vDefend firewall.

Environment

Usage Meter 9.0.x

Resolution

When registering a clustered NSX-T Manager, register only the cluster VIP in Usage Meter.
If all NSX-T Manager nodes have already been registered, they must be deleted as this configuration is incorrect.

 

Additional Information

* Add an NSX-T Data Center Instance for vDefend for Metering in VCF Usage Meter
