After deleting the broken controller node, deploy a new controller node.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the vSphere Web Client.
  2. Navigate to Networking & Security > Installation and Upgrade > Management > NSX Controller Nodes.
  3. Click the affected controller. Take screenshots or note down the NSX Controller Details for a future reference.
  4. Deploy a new NSX Controller node by clicking the Add icon.
  5. In the Add Controller dialog box, select the data center on which you are adding the nodes, and configure the controller settings.
    1. Select the appropriate cluster.
    2. Select a Host in the cluster and storage.
    3. Select the distributed port-group.
    4. Select the IP pool from which IP addresses are to be assigned to the node.
    5. Click OK, wait for the installation to complete, and ensure that the node has a Connected status.
    For detailed information about adding a controller node, see "Deploy NSX Controller Cluster" in the NSX Installation Guide.
  6. Resynchronize the controller state by clicking Actions > Update Controller State.
    Update Controller State pushes the current VXLAN and Distributed Logical Router configuration (including Universal Objects in a Cross-vCenter NSX deployment) from NSX Manager to the controller cluster.
