Group has IPs which are not in use

ukonstantin — Tue, 31 May 2022 12:58:48 GMT

Hello all,

we are running NSX-T 3.2.

There are several groups which has dynamic members assigned with tags.
A given groups has 5 members but only 3 three VMs are active. The other two IPs are not assigned to an VM which is currently active.
How can I "purge" this group to remove the IPs which are not in use.

Hi,

Is this is an upgraded instance or a green field?

Hi,
This is a greenfield installation.

Inactive as in shut off or inactive as in destroyed? If they're shut off you probably want enforcement dvfilters installed as soon as they boot up, so it shouldn't be a bad thing.

Presumably you can do that by removing the tag from those VMs.

The VMs are moved to another group.
