Unable to delete vCenter in NSX-T due to stale entries present in Corfu DB

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

Unable to delete old vCenter integrated with NSX-T, throwing an error on UI.

Compute Manager delete failed.: Compute manager <UUID-xxx-xxx-xxx> is in use. Please delete nsx managed VM(s) [Manager VM's 2, Manager VM's 3] and then retry deleting compute manager.

On the old vCenter UI we observe these Managers have been migrated to a different vCenter.

 

Environment

VMware NSX 4.x

Cause

Stale entry present in Corfu DB as NSX is not aware of actions/operations performed outside of NSX.

Resolution

This needs an internal script or commands to cleanup the stale entry. Collect all the 3 NSX Manager nodes support bundle and open a support request with Broadcom
