• Resolved Issues

Resolved Issues

• Fixed Issue 3032598: N-S traffic outage during NSX edge migration in BYOT.

  Longer outage seen when multiple UDLRs are migrated from NSX for vSphere to NSX-T.

• Fixed Issue 3033063: In VUM upgrade workflow, creation of nsxuser on the host may fail and lead to NSX host upgrade failure.

  During a VUM upgrade, after ESXi hosts are upgraded to a newer version, NSX manager detects a new ESXi version and starts NSX VIB upgrade automatically. The ESXi host may sometimes disconnect from vCenter for a few seconds after host upgrade and during this time if NSX tries to create nsxuser to help update the VIBs it will fail and mark the host as failed on UI.

• Fixed Issue 3033060: Fail to apply Transport Node profile on a cluster.

  Cm-inventory (compute manager) service may run out of memory when there are thousands of segments (dvpg) configured on NSX and realized on vCenter either attached to one DVS or multiple DVS. The configuration can lead to TN profile realization failure.

• Fixed Issue 3024608: SFTP server password and passphrase used in backup/restore stored in clear text in unified appliance logs.

  Unified appliance logs show the SFTP server password and passphrase in clear text whenever backup configuration is created/updated.

• Fixed Issue 3033587: Receive Side Scaling (RSS) does not work with Mellanox interfaces in Bare Metal Edge.

  Lack of RSS leads to over utilization of single core and causes severe performance issues.

• Fixed Issue 3025912: Upgrade from NSX-T 3.2.1 to 3.2.1.1 fails for Global Manager.

  A wrong API used during global manager upgrade leads to GM upgrade failure.

• Fixed Issue 3027797: Bare Metal Edge management bond interfaces may be lost after a reboot, or there may be incorrectly named interfaces.

  Loss of Edge management connectivity, new configuration realization may fail and impact datapath.

• Fixed Issue 3039749: ESX PSOD when a malformed IPv6 ND/unsolicited NA packet is received on an overlay segment.

  Downtime due to ESX PSOD.

• Fixed Issue 3027804: Edit Edge Transport Node Dialog does not show uplinks from Named teaming policies or lags defined in uplink profile.

  Functionality loss as you are not able to use uplinks from lags or named teaming policies in a Edge Transport Node from the UI.

• Fixed Issue 3027814: Nginx crash after LB persistence is disabled.

  New connection cannot be established as dead lock.

• Fixed Issue 3027792: VMs intermittent connectivity issues after applying a transport node profile to a cluster without detaching a pre-existing TNP first.

  Traffic is affected by N-S or E-W.

• Fixed Issue 3030772: The NAT Active counter shows a very large, incorrect value (e.g., "NAT Active/Max": "4293970739/4294967295").

  Incorrect counter of active NAT connections.

• Fixed Issue 3027913: An invalid flow cache entry causes packets of unrelated flows to bypass FW and SNAT processing.

  Random flow failure. Client application reports connection reset.

• Fixed Issue 3039568: Upgrading to 3.2.1 from 3.1.x or older for envs with segment GPRR entry with realizedObjectId=null would fail with NPE.

  Unable to upgrade to 3.2.1.x.
