Imported NSX Edge clusters remain in SDDC Manager after workload domain deletion

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager / VCF Installer

Issue/Introduction

• Imported NSX Edge clusters remain in SDDC Manager after workload domain deletion.
• Before the Workload Domain was deleted, all Edge Nodes were deleted - both in NSXT and vCenter.
• The Edge Cleaner lists the clusters but cannot remove them because the workload association no longer exists.

Environment

VMware SDDC Manager 9.0.2

Cause

• The edge cleaner lists the clusters but cannot remove them because the workload association no longer exists
• domain-name lookup path is not working properly

Resolution

1. Cleanup needs to be done directly at the DB/inventory layer.
2. Open a case with Broadcom Support
