During the NSX Edge deployment process, SDDC Manager creates a VM anti-affinity rule to prevent the nodes of the NSX Edge cluster from running on the same ESXi host. If you redeployed the two NSX Edge cluster nodes, you must recreate this rule. If you redeployed one node of the cluster, you must add the new VM to the existing rule.

Procedure

  1. In a web browser, log in to the domain vCenter Server by using the vSphere Client (https://<vcenter_server_fqdn>/ui).
  2. Select Menu > Hosts and Clusters.
  3. In the inventory expand vCenter Server > Datacenter.
  4. Click the cluster object.
  5. Click the Configure tab and click VM/Host Rules.
  6. Update or recreate the VM anti-affinity rule.

    • If you redeployed one of the nodes in the NSX Edge cluster, add the new VM to the existing rule.

      1. Click the VM anti-affinity rule name and click Edit.

      2. Click Add VM/Host rule member, select the new NSX Edge cluster node, and click Add.

    • If you redeployed the two nodes in the NSX Edge cluster, click Add VM/Host rule, enter these values to create the rule, and click OK.
