Supervisor deployment fails in VCF 9.0 due to missing NSX Edge Cluster

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

When attempting to deploy a vSphere Supervisor with VPC networking in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0, the deployment fails during the validation phase. The vSphere Client displays the following incompatibility messages:

• Cluster domain-c # # # # # is missing compatible NSX-T VDS
• No valid edge cluster for VDS # # # # #

Environment

VMware NSX 9.x

Cause

The mandatory NSX networking prerequisites for VPC-backed Supervisor clusters specifically, a functional NSX Edge Cluster and an Active-Standby Tier-0 Gateway have not been provisioned in the Management or Workload Domain.

Resolution

To enable vSphere Supervisor, you must deploy an NSX Edge cluster with an active-standby tier-0 gateway to complete Supervisor activation, unless you are using an existing NSX Manager instance with a compatible NSX Edge cluster.

• Deploy NSX Edge Cluster: Deploy a compatible NSX Edge cluster in Active-Standby mode.
• Configure Tier-0 Gateway: Create and configure a Tier-0 Gateway on the newly created Edge cluster to provide the North-South routing required for the Supervisor.
