NSX-T Multisite - Collapsed Single Cluster

[tgrayatshi]

We have two sites we want to implement NSX-T 2.5 for a Primary and Secondary Site..   We need the Multisite support to be able to automatically recovery the NSX Managers in the DR site, but one of the requirements is to stretch the Management Cluster across the sites.   Can we stretch a Collapsed Single Cluster across the sites to get the NSX-T Automatic Recovery?

For all things related to NSX-T multisite this is the best resource out there: NSX-T Multisite

You can stretch clusters across sites as long as they are at most 10msec apart.

NSX manager automatic recovery relies on vSphere HA feature, if your mgmt cluster is stretched and management network is also stretched then in that case NSX manager can automatically come up at DR site in case of failure.

Dedicated mgmt cluster or shared cluster to host NSX managers, requirement is same.

So, in a nut shell, if you have stretched collapsed cluster, yes you can automatically recover NSX managers.

Just see the RTT limitation of 10msec across sites. let me know if there is any doubt.
