Placement network missing under Tenant VRF in version 31.2.1 in AVI Load Balancer.

Products

• VMware Avi Load Balancer

Issue/Introduction

• After upgrading VMware AVI load balancer to version 31.2.1, administrators may find that the Placement Network is unavailable or missing from the dropdown menu when attempting to create a Virtual Service (VS) within a specific Tenant.
• When configuring a new Virtual Service under a non-admin Tenant, the expected Placement Networks do not appear in the selection list.
•  
• The same Placement Networks remain fully visible and functional when performing the same configuration steps under the Admin Tenant.
• This behaviour is observed immediately following an upgrade to version 31.2.1; the issue was not present in version 30.2.x.

Environment

• VMware AVI Load Balancer
  
  • 31.2.1 and 31.2.1-2p1
    
    

Cause

• The issue occurs if the tenant was created with Tenant VRF checked.
• The issue does not appear in the 30.2.x version.

Resolution

Fix:

• The issue will be fixed in the next maintenance releases.

 

Workaround:

To restore visibility of the Placement Networks across Tenants, you can modify the controller properties to ignore VRF constraints in the network subnet list.

1. Log in to the Leader Controller node via SSH.

2. Enter into the Avi Shell:

   shell
   

3. Execute the following commands to update the controller properties:

   [admin:controller-ip]: > configure controller properties
   [admin:controller-ip]: controllerproperties> ignore_vrf_in_networksubnetlist
   Overwriting the previously entered value for ignore_vrf_in_networksubnetlist
   [admin:controller-ip]: controllerproperties> save
