IpAddressAllocation in progress state in NSX manager UI

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• In the NSX manager UI, when searching for an IP Block UUID, the results displays a an IpAddressAllocation' Resource Type 'In Progress'.
• WCP/VKS is used in the environment and the IP block is owned by WCP/VKS.
• If you try to copy the IpAddressAllocation UUID from the results, you get a Not Realized error.
• Using the below API call, we can see the state is UNREALIZED:

curl -k -u admin https://localhost/policy/api/v1/infra/realized-state/status?intent_path=/infra/ip-pools/ipp_<IP-POOL-UUID>_egress/ip-allocations/<Allocation-UUID>

{
  "consolidated_status" : {
    "consolidated_status" : "IN_PROGRESS"
  },
  "consolidated_status_per_enforcement_point" : [ {
    "resource_type" : "ConsolidatedStatusPerEnforcementPoint",
    "enforcement_point_id" : "default",
    "consolidated_status" : {
      "consolidated_status" : "SUCCESS"
    }
  } ],
  "publish_status" : "UNREALIZED",
  "intent_version" : "0",
  "intent_path" : "/infra/ip-pools/ipp_<IP-POOL-UUID>_egress/ip-allocations/<Allocation-UUID>"

Cause

This issue occurs when the IpAddressAllocation is manipulated directly, normally the this is done using the Block to allocation the addresses from it.

Resolution

This is a known issue impacting VMware NSX.

The issue is a cosmetic UI issue and has no impact on workloads.
