Introduction The other day we were upgrading our VMware NSX environment to a fresh new version from 3.x to 4.x. After the upgrade, the first login we encountered many NSX Corfu certificates as expired from the alarm screen as can be seen below: You can see these alarms on the Read more…
Introduction The other day I was doing an NSX(T) upgrade from 3.2.3.1 to 4.1.1.0 on one of our environments. Everything went alright until the actual first stage in which you start upgrading your NSX infrastructure. As you know the first step in upgrading your NSX Fabric is the step in Read more…
Introduction Earlier this week I have had the opportunity to listen to the new enhancements announced today for the VMware products VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), vSphere and NSX! In this blogpost I will highlight the most important parts that apply to my day to day work and and view my Read more…
Introduction In our NSX(T) environment I’ve had to replace certificates loads of times. This is actually quite easy if you know how (which I will explain in this post). However, this time after replacing all the NSX Manager certificates (Cluster and Nodes) we had one expired certificate left, the one 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.

This is where the NSX manager API can be a useful tool.
Introduction If you have worked or are working with NSX for vSphere (NSX-V) like me you are probably aware of the known bug that is present on some olders versions of NSX-V. Even the VMware Interoperability Matrix has a remark on this on all versions. The bug I am talking Read more…
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…
