Use the NSX UI or CLI to find the node IDs required to import or replace certificates in manager nodes and clusters.
Task | From the UI | From the CLI |
---|---|---|
To get the Unified Appliance node ID. |
|
Log in to any of the NSX Manager nodes using SSH and run the command: get cluster status . |
To get the Edge transport node ID. |
|
Log in to the NSX Edge and run the command: get transport-nodes status . |
To get the host transport node ID. |
|
Log in to the NSX Edge and run the command: get transport-nodes status . |
Prerequisites
There are several types of node IDs required for certificate replacement. The type of certificate replacement you are performing will determine the type of node ID you need to include in your API call.
- To replace the API certificate of a manager node or other NSX Manager certificate, such as APH-AR, use the Unified Appliance node ID.
- To replace the transport node (TN) or the Edge host certificates, use the transport node ID.
What to do next
If required, retrieve all three NSX Manager appliance node IDs and run the API calls for each appliance certificate replacement. For instructions, refer to Replace Certificates.
