This section covers the steps in detail. Migrating Virtual ServicesThe NSX Advanced Load Balancer supports easy migration of virtual services from one Service Engine to another, as would be needed when an SE needs to be deactivated for maintenance or upgrade. Using the steps provided in this topic, the virtual services on an SE can be migrated to another SE. Remove Listening Port when VS downThe option Remove Listening Port when VS down is available on the NSX Advanced Load Balancer UI. When this option is enabled, and the Virtual Service is in a DOWN state, the Service Engine will respond to requests to the VIP and service port with an RST (TCP) or ICMP port unreachable (UDP). Find Virtual Service UUID Each object within the NSX Advanced Load Balancer configuration is assigned a unique identity. Multiple objects in different tenants may have the same name. For instance, multiple tenants may have a virtual service named “web.” For automated interaction with NSX Advanced Load Balancer, particularly through the API, it is useful to know how to obtain the UUID of objects such as a virtual service. This topic explains the steps to find the UUID of objects using API, CLI, and UI. Adding FQDN to Existing VS that uses Auto-allocated IPAfter a virtual service is created with an IP address automatically assigned to it, it may be required to have more FQDNs pointing to it.
