Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

This issue occurs when user migrates from non-vLCM cluster to vLCM Cluster along with remediation post VC upgrade - syncing of Upgrade Plan fails.

Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VMware NSX. There is currently no resolution

 

Workaround

Run the following command from the NSX manager CLI (while logged in as root):

curl -ku 'admin' -X POST 'https://localhost/api/v1/upgrade/plan?action=reset&component_type=HOST'

 

Note: Above command needs to be run on all Manager nodes in the Cluster
