Environment

10.x

Cause

The Tenant may not have the correct Network Pool or a Network Pool does not exist or there may be some stale entries in the DB.

Resolution

Steps to fix the Vapp power on issue:

• If you are using isolated or routed network in Tenant then you can refer to KB 381288 to fix network pool configuration.
• If you are using only direct connection to external network then it involved DB correction. Raise a ticket with Broadcom support \ GSS by referring a KB 142884
