NSX-T Server Pools are used to contain the nodes that are receiving traffic.

Steps to Configure a Server Pool:

Prerequisites

You will need to create a single pool per VMware Aria Operations cluster with all the data nodes participating in the cluster as members. Remote collectors must not be added into this pool.

Procedure

  1. Go to Load Balancing > Server Pools > Server Pools
  2. Click the Add () icon.
  3. Choose a Name for the pool. For example: vROPs-POOL.
  4. Set Load Balancing Algorithm as LEAST_CONNECTION
  5. Configure SNAT Translation as Auto Map
  6. Add the pool members (VMware Aria Operations data nodes IP addresses and Port) as following:

    1. Name

    2. IP Address

    3. Weight: 1

    4. Port: 443

    5. State: ENABLED

  7. Attach an Active Health Monitor to the pool (please refer to the example below)
