NSX distributed port groups created for the NSX cluster prepared for Security could not be deleted manually

Products

• VMware NSX
• VMware Telco Cloud Platform

Issue/Introduction

During NSXT decommission process for a NSX cluster prepared only for Security, 3 NSX distributed port groups configured on NSX segments could not be removed manually. 

The delete option for these distributed port groups were "grayed out".

 

Environment

NSXT 3.2.2

TCP 2.2

Cause

The NSX-T cluster was prepared by the system for Security only. So the distributed port groups couldn't be manually deleted from NSX GUI or from API

Resolution

Remove the transport node profile attached with the cluster. After the transport node profile is removed from the cluster, the NSX distributed port groups should get deleted automatically.
