Environment
- Operations Manager
- NSX
Cause
When creating a VM, BOSH reaches out to NSX Manager to allocate and assign a specified IP to a segment port. The segment port is successfully created for the VM, but for NSX internal reason, the IP fails to be allocated and assigned to the segment port.
As the result, the newly created VM can not communicate with BOSH director due to missing IP address, BOSH director will start deleting the VM after waiting 600s. The deletion operation triggers error "Group association resource ID was not found", as the resource was not recreated on NSX and accordingly not available.
Resolution
The problem is at NSX side, please engage your NSX Manager admin to review NSX Manager side event and log, figure out why the given IP can not be allocated and assigned to the proper segment port.
