Do not see cluster when trying to add transport zone.

I have one cluster under vcsa and I have 3 NSX controllers and 1 NSX manager.

When I try to add the transport zone, I do not see any clusters listed.

Am I missing any steps?

it's probably an obvious question but, have you prepared the ESXi Hosts by installing the NSX VIBs ?

from an SSH to one of the hosts, does esxcli software vib list | grep nsx return anything ?

can you see the NSX modules on the Host vmkload_mod -l | grep nsx

so that looks good.

back to basics so, a few other things to check

  • on the Host(s) does less /var/log/esxupdate.log show any errors. the fact that the VIBs have been installed and, modules are loaded would suggest not but, worth a look
  • are you using a distributed vSwitch on the vCenter and, have your Hosts been added to it ?
  • on the Host Preparation Tab, VXLAN Column is showing as Configured
  • you've created an IP Pool / DHCP Range for the VTEPs and, there's a VTEP (vmk interface) on each Host
  • you've created a Segment ID  (VNI) Pool, 5000-5999 for example
