Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

Last full sync happened in 2024, which is right, and that is expected. Restarting nodes/services or network restoration will not trigger a full sync between GM and LM.  Only when the system detects there is a loss of data then full sync be triggered. 

Resolution

This is expected and can be ignored.
