Failed to deploy edge appliance [OVF Manager Internal error for more details...

[gregheywood]

Hello, I am getting the above trying to install my NSX Edge appliance (a DLR) in my test environment. I appreciate this is probably not a common or particularly helpful error, but I was after points on where to look to get to the bottom of it.I currently have no SYSLOG set up on my NSX Manager, and I was trying to look in the vCenter logs, but my browser keeps throwing internal errors while trying, so I am not getting too far.

To provide a bit of background, I am running ESXi6 nested on ESXi6. I have two compute clusters and a management cluster with five hosts. NSX is installed on all, but VXLAN is only configured on the compute clusters which are in "local-transport-zone-a".

I have several logical switches. Local-transit-A, and tier-1-A and tier-2-A. Tier-1-a contains a couple of VMs on 172.16.10.0/24, which can talk to each other, and tier-2-a contains one VM on 172.16.20.0/24.

My next job was to install a DLR to get connectivity between the two..

When I click "finish", I see the edge appliance listed for a minute or two, before it disappears, and the "failed" counter increments.

I have also tried the installation without Tier-2, just Tier-1.

If I go to the NSX Manager, I can see systems events with a code of 30024 each time I try and create the LDR.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Hi,

If you click the "X Failed" button, you will see the task that has failed and for what reason. My two cents; make sure that the resource reservations for the Edge are possible, as it automatically sets them when deploying and errors out when there are not enough resources.

Thanks for the reply. I tried this morning deploying it to the other compute cluster, and that worked fine, but it is definitely something about the configuration of that first compute cluster. I will have to go over it and see if I can find it..
