If you want to fail over the NSX load balancer from the protected to the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance, after you disconnect the NSX load balancer in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance, connect the NSX load balancer in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance to the Tier-1 gateway. With this configuration, the network connectivity on the NSX load balancer in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance can support high availability and can distribute the network traffic load for the clustered Workspace ONE Access, VMware Aria Operations, and VMware Aria Automation after a planned migration to the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance.

Note:

This procedure is applicable only if you want to fail over the NSX load balancer from the protected to the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
