Unable to deploy a Supervisor cluster in VCF 9.0.1

Products

• VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service

Issue/Introduction

When attempting to deploy a Supervisor in a VCF 9.0.1 environment, the deployment process is getting stuck stating the following messages:

• "Resource Type Deployment, identifier vmware-system-nsx/nsx-ncp is not found"
• "Kubernetes cluster health endpoint problem at <IP unassigned>.  Details: Waiting for API Master IP assignment"

Environment

• VCF 9.x

Cause

Currently in VCF 9.x, a race condition can occur while the three Supervisor control plane VMs are deploying where the apiserver on the 2nd and 3rd control plane VMs become ready before the cert-manager has injected the CA certificate into the nsop validating webhook.  

Resolution

A workaround to this issue is to attempt the Supervisor deployment again using a single control plane node.  Once the deployment has completed successfully, "Control Plane HA" can be activated to scale the Supervisor cluster up to three control plane nodes.

Additional Information

This issue is resolved in VCF 9.1.
