Write down a trend of deployment of the DS_for_VM_NSX environment (painful memories)

Customer Virtualization version

VMware-NSX-Manager-6.3.2-5672532.ova

VMware-VCSA-all-6.5.0-5705665.iso

VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201704001-5310538.x86_64.iso

Install DS, deploy gi and dsva in NSX, no problem after installation, installation reference document "DS9.6 deployment .pptx"

At first, the customer asked whether dsva could be moved from shared storage SC to shared storage MD,400. The reply was that migration was not supported.

So you can only redeploy GI and dsva. Refer to the Deep_Security_96_Install_Guide_nsx_CN.pdf document when uninstalling DSVA. After uninstalling DSVA, all the customer's virtual machine network is interrupted, and then try to restart NSX and vcenter. After about 20 minutes, the customer's network is restored.

At that time, consult trend Office engineer L, he encountered a similar problem in a major customer, not only uninstall DSVA, when DSVA is turned off, it will also lead to virtual machine network outage! His solution is to delete the dsva, delete the switch created by the trend and restore the customer's network.

On the evening of July 18, after consulting the L worker, we intend to redeploy and refer to the document "DS9.6_NSX6.3 adjustment .pdf" to make some changes to NSX to avoid the above problems.

When deployed to dsva, all the virtual machines on the customer's virtualization platform are disconnected, and dsva cannot boot normally. Later, the switches created by dsva and trend were deleted, and the network still could not be restored.

I tried a lot of ways, but I couldn't solve it. The network can reach ESXi hosts, but not virtual machines, including vcenter

Finally, the vcenter,EXSi host is reinstalled and all the hosts are redone to move the virtual machine back.

No longer able to complain!
