Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Portgroup(s) required}

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x

Cause

• The error com.vmware.evo.sddc.orchestrator.exceptions.OrchTaskException: Invalid parameter: {0}, caused by java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Portgroup(s) required indicates that the SDDC Manager workflow failed to identify the management port group associated with the target cluster and the associated VDS.
  
  
• This state indicates the attempt of incomplete manual cleanup of a failed NSX Edge cluster, leaving the environment in an inconsistent state. 

Resolution

1. Use the script to cleanup the current Edge cluster creation - VMware Cloud Foundation NSX-T Edge Cluster Deployment Removal Tool 

2. Initiate a new Edge cluster creation from the SDDC manager.
