Products

Issue/Introduction

Edge node passwords and/or edge node inventory showing out of sync or showing as disconnected in SDDC manager. 

Environment

• VMware Cloud Foundation 4.x
• VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x

Cause

This could be caused because the edge node VM was torn down and re-created on a different cluster outside of the SDDC manager.

Resolution

To resolve this issue the edge node needs to be torn down and re-created from the SDDC Manager directly

1. Download the attached migrate_edge_node.py script.
   
   
2. Copy the migrate_edge_node to the /home/vcf/ directory on the SDDC Manager.
   
   
3. SSH into the SDDC Manager with vcf user and then elevate with su.
   
   
4. Run the script. (audit password is optional)
   
   python3 migrate_edge_node.py \
    --target-cluster <name-or-uuid> \
    [--force] \
    <sso_user> <sso_pass> \
    <nsx_mgr_fqdn> <nsx_user> <nsx_pass> \
    <edge_fqdn> <root_pass> [admin_pass] [audit_pass]
