After the SDDC deployment, the universal NSX components for dynamic routing are placed in Region A. If a site failure occurs in Region A, the SDDC management applications might lose connectivity if you fail them over to Region B. Deploy and configure a control VM for the universal distributed logical router sfo01m01udlr01 in Region B to provide dynamic routing to the SDDC management applications.
