If you want to fail over the NSX load balancer from the protected to the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance, after you reconfigure the Tier-1 gateway for dynamic routing in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance, disconnect the NSX load balancer for the SDDC management applications in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance. This configuration prevents IP conflicts when the NSX load balancer in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance becomes online.

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. For a partial migration, you can use the NSX load balancer in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance for the migrated management applications in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance.

Procedure

  1. Log in to NSX Global Manager for the management domain in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance at https://<active_nsx_gm_fqdn>/login.jsp?local=true as admin.
  2. From the drop-down menu at the top, select the protected site NSX location.
  3. On the main navigation bar, click Networking.
  4. In the left navigation pane, click Load balancing.
  5. On the Load balancers tab, click the vertical ellipsis for the active load balancer and select Edit.
  6. In the Attachment column, remove the standalone Tier-1 gateway, and click Save.
  7. Wait until the NSX load balancer for the SDDC management applications in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance status becomes Disabled.
