Introduction Recently I have been upgrading one of my test environments from NSX 3.1.2 to 3.2.1 and have come across a couple of issues. This time it seems like there is one Tier 1 GW in my environment that is not connecting to both Edge Nodes in a Edge Cluster. Read more…
Introduction Recently I have been upgrading one of my test NSX-T labs. In this particular lab environment the scenario was upgrading NSX-T 3.1.2.1.0 to 3.2.3.1.0. NSX-T environments are upgraded in phases and the first (actually second) phase is upgrading the NSX Edge Clusters and NSX Edges inside these clusters. Doing Read more…
Recently I upgraded a NSX-T multisite deployment. Unfortunately following the upgrade on one of the local sites it failed to display that site’s status on the system overview page.
NSX-T makes it very easy to deploy virtual edge transport nodes using the NSX manager.

Introduction In the previous post here we have discussed the installation for the first NSX-T Manager and its prerequisites. In the next series of the blogpost we will discuss deploying the second and third NSX-T Manager appliance and how to connect them together in a cluster. We will also discuss Read more…
Introduction Today we are working on NSX! Not NSX-V (the older NSX for vSphere environments) but the “new” NSX-T, which since version 4.0 is just called NSX. Lately I have been working a lot with this and have made some internal posts about this. I figured why not share this Read more…
Sometimes you come across a couple of older environments that haven’t received the amount of love you should give them. I came across one NSX-V environment that had an expired certificate on the NSX Manager. Renewing a NSX Manager certificate is one of the easiest things to do on a Read more…
Introduction Today we have yet another certificate blogpost. This is the fourth blogpost on this in the last couple of months. I’ve recently created a new environment and added custom CA signed vCenter Server certificates through the vSphere Client (UI). In a recent blogpost I had some issues with this Read more…
