  • A notification in NSX stating "Failed to fetch system details...Error code: 513002" is present.

  • The cluster status in the NSX UI on the System > Appliances page may show all nodes as healthy.
  • NSX Manager syslog shows the following error:

Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

User/group information is not properly transmitted between manager nodes while the NSX 9.1 upgrade is still in progress.

Resolution

This is a known issue impacting VMware NSX.

Workaround:

  • This issue should not block or affect the upgrade.
  • Continue with upgrade.
  • When all NSX components are upgraded, the UI on the affected manager node will function as expected again.
