NFS Portgroup Missing After Domain Inventory Sync

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager / VCF Installer

Issue/Introduction

After performing a Workload Domain inventory sync task the NFS Portgroup for ESXi hosts no longer appears. 

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 

VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1

Cause

The transportType="NFS" metadata is missing from the SDDC Manager database for the target vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS).

SDDC Manager maintains an internal PostgreSQL database (platform) that tags VMware vCenter Server port groups with specific roles. When a host is added, SDDC queries this database to identify the correct port group for storage traffic routing.

Resolution

This issue will be resolved in VCF 9.1.2

Workaround
If an immediate upgrade is not possible, the missing NFS port group metadata can be manually restored in the SDDC Manager database. To ensure this is implemented, engage Broadcom Technical Support to perform this remediation. See Contact Broadcom Support
