vRA 6.1 Hotfix for NSX

Wed, 07 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Whilst deploying a NSX 6.1 and vRA 6.1 lab for some testing, I came across a peculiar error in regards to deploying a 1-arm load balancer.

Essentially it wouldn’t work! When vRA was trying to execute the multi-machine blueprint, it would provision all the VMs correctly and then destroy them shortly afterwards. The logs would show the following error.

[Timezone] [Error]: VcoWorkflow 'Create Edge': Failed after 00:00:10.4947127, java.lang.RuntimeException: com.vmware.o11n.plugins.nsx.error.VsmException: VSM response error (10166): Invalid Configuration. To deploy NSX Edge appliances, at-least one Vnic must be configured and must be connected to a valid portgroup. (Workflow:Create edge / Scriptable task (item1)#57)

So after a bit of research, it turned out that you need to apply a hotfix for vRA 6.1 when integrated with NSX.
