1. Re: deleting and redeploy controller add increment
Sreec Jan 28, 2018 11:19 AM (in response to tdubb123)This is expected behavior and i don't think there is any way to change it as of now.

amolnjadhav Jan 30, 2018 5:09 AM (in response to tdubb123)Hi,
As sree mentioned No way we can restart the controller counting from #1.
I guess you can give a try, Unregistered the NSX Manager with vCenter Server Then reboot NSX Manager n try to register Manager with VC.

3. Re: deleting and redeploy controller add increment
A13x Jan 30, 2018 6:48 AM (in response to amolnjadhav)No this will not work, the controller is on a counter and that will continue to increment. At the end of the day it is just a number, we have controllers since the early days which have no names. There is no way i can find to remotely configure the names now they have been deployed and the only way is to delete and redeploy. You have a number issue and my controllers are referred to as 'null'

tanurkov Jan 31, 2018 1:53 AM (in response to A13x)Count of the controllers are in NSX Manger database, there is field which increment count numbers. this is a good indication what was done to controllers before.
there is no practical reason why you want to change numbers. It just a number nothing more. DB is hidden from access and I not recommend you to play with it if you never touch NSX Manager DB

6. Re: deleting and redeploy controller add increment
Mid_Hudson_IT Mar 10, 2018 4:06 PM (in response to tdubb123)There is no reasoning at all to name them "Controller-1" "Controller-2" "Controller-3" because when the host is rebooted or a controller dies and the slices are redistributed when the controller is redeployed it will just follow a sequence and not a number scheme that is aesthetically pleasing. For this very reason it's pointless to even add this is a VCDX-NV design, you'll just get a O.o (ooo really, explain...)
