Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3
VMware Cloud Foundation 4.2

Cause

  • Issue is observed if NSX-T managers are redeployed from backup in a VCF environment
  • Complete FQDN of NSX-T managers is not specified for VM host name during OVF deployment

Resolution

Login to NSX-T manager via SSH and run following commands as "admin" user.
Substitute values for commands as per your environment.
  • Verify host name:
nsx-mgmt-1> get hostname
nsx-mgmt-1
  • If the returned host name does not have complete FQDN, update host name:
nsx-mgmt-1> set hostname nsx-mgmt-1.vrack.vsphere.local
  • Verify modified host name:
nsx-mgmt-1> get hostname
nsx-mgmt-1.vrack.vsphere.local
  • Reboot NSX-T manager:
nsx-mgmt-1> reboot
Are you sure you want to reboot (yes/no): yes
  • Repeat above steps for each NSX-T manager that is part of NSX cluster
  • Retry precheck from SDDC Manager UI
