"Not all addresses from the VCF Management Services IPv4 pool are part of the management network" when deploying VCF Management Services.

Products

• VCF Operations

Issue/Introduction

During the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.1 upgrade or deployment, the Management Services Platform (VMSP) cluster fails to deploy. The following error is seen:

Not all addresses from the VCF Management Services IPv4 pool are part of the management network

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1.x

Cause

This failure occurs when the provided VCF Management Services CIDR is not part of the existing Management Network. 

Resolution

Choose a CIDR range that resides within the existing Management Network. The minimum required require range is a /28 network (12 IPs minimum). However, scaling out the environment can require up to a /27 network (30 IPs). 

See the following for more information:

• VCF Components FQDNs and IP addresses
• Deploy VCF Management Services and License Server as Part of VCF Upgrade to 9.1

 

Note: Expanding the VCF Management Services range is possible post-deployment using the steps in Network Actions for VCF Services Runtime.

Additional Information

The configuration wizard requires the following:

• A dedicated IP range for the VCF services runtime with a minimum of 12 IP addresses.
• FQDNs for VCF services runtime, fleet component, and instance component.
  • In the context of deploying VCF management services, the required FQDN for the fleet component includes the fleet lifecycle, Salt RaaS, and software depot components.
  • The FQDN for the instance component includes the SDDC lifecycle, Salt master, real-time metrics, real-time metrics store, and telemetry components. 
• FQDN for identity broker 
• FQDN for the license server that is deployed separately. 

All FQDNs must resolve to unique IP addresses outside of the IP range provided for the VCF services runtime, but still within the management network.
