Know the scenarios to replace an existing NSX Edge node with a physical server or with an NSX Edge VM.
If you encounter any of the following scenarios, you might want to consider replacing or redeploying
NSX Edge nodes deployed in your network:
- A Bare Metal server (physical server) used as an NSX Edge node crashed.
- An NSX Edge VM appliance reached defunct status.
-
An NSX Edge VM appliance placement (network/datastore/compute, form factor, latency sensitivity, CPU and memory) needs to be changed.
Supported replacement paths are:
Action | Supported Path (From... To) | Reasons |
---|---|---|
