This section explains the steps to configure SE group flavor settings using the NSX Advanced Load Balancer UI and CLI.

  1. Navigate to Infrastructure > Cloud Resources > Service Engine Group.

  2. Choose the desired Service Engine Group and click Edit. The following screen is displayed:



  3. Click Resources tab.

  4. Select an Instance Flavor from the drop-down menu.

  5. Click Save.

Note:

SE Group page takes Instance Flavor as configuration input. The input is flavor name not Flavor UUID. The list of flavors fetched from OpenStack are only those flavors matching the minimum requirement of 1 GB RAM and recommended minimum disk size of 2 times RAM (in GB) + 5 GB.

You can manually configure the flavor if you want to use flavors other than recommended flavor using NSX Advanced Load Balancer CLI as follows:
