Lab: NSX Manager deployment (Single site)
In this lab I am working with the following software and versions:
Software | Version | Filename |
---|---|---|
VMware vCenter Server Appliance | 7.00U3G | VMware-VCSA-all-7.0.3-20150588.iso |
VMware ESXi Server | 7.00U3F | VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0U3f-20036589.x86_64.iso |
VMware NSX | 4.0.0.1 | nsx-unified-appliance-4.0.0.1.0.20159694.ova |
- Deploy three NSX Manager Nodes and make sure they operate in a cluster.
- Do not use any external load balancers.
- Add a valid license to NSX.
The Steps
- STEP 0: Make sure a DNS server Lab:Install and configure a DNS Server using BIND and an vSphere SDDC infrastructure Lab:Install and configure a (nested) vSphere SDDC is deployed
- STEP 1: Deploy the first NSX Manager
- STEP 2: Add the NSX License
- STEP 3: Add a Compute Manager
- STEP 4: Deploy the second and third NSX Manager to form an NSX Manager Cluster
- STEP 5: Configure the NSX VIP IP Address
STEP 1: Deploy the first NSX Manager
The NSX Manager can be deployed using the vCenter Server or an ESXi host. I will describe both.
For the deployment the following configuration parameters are required:
Parameter Name | Input |
---|---|
vSphere Cluster | Management |
VM Name | Pod-120-NSXT-LM-1 |
Storage | Management_vSAN |
Network (Port Group) | Management |
System Root User Password | VMware1!VMware1! |
CLI "admin" User Password | VMware1!VMware1! |
CLI "audit" User Password | VMware1!VMware1! |
Hostname | Pod-120-NSXT-LM-1 |
Rolename | NSX Manager |
Management Network IPv4 Address | 10.203.120.12 |
Management Network Netmask | 255.255.255.0 |
Default IPv4 Gateway | 10.203.120.1 |
DNS Server list | 10.203.0.5 |
Domain Search List | sddc.lab |
NTP Server List | 10.203.0.5 |
Enable SSH | yes |
Allow root SSH logins | yes |
Deploying the first NSX Manager using vCenter Server
Let’s start with the vCenter Server.
Right-click the vSphere cluster where I want to deploy the NSX Manager to and select “Deploy OVF Template”.
Select “Local File” and select the NSX OVA file that I downloaded from the VMware website.
Specify a Virtual Machine Name.
Specify the compute resource.
Review the details.
Specify a deployment size.
Specify the storage.
Specify the network.
Specify the parameters as per this table.
⚠️ In the customise template section there are some parameters that are not used for this deployment, I can just leave those blank and only use the parameters I specified above as these are required for a successful deployment.
Review the details and click on “Finish” to start the deployment.
In the “Recent Tasks” section in the vCenter Server I can track the deployment status.
When the deployment is finished I need to turn on the NSX Manager VM by right-clicking on the VM and select Power → Power On.
The NSX Manager VM is now powered on.
Deploying the first NSX Manager using ESXi Server
Another way to deploy the fist NSX Manager Node is to do the deployment on an ESXi host. Click on “Create/Register VM”
Select “Deploy a virtual machine from an OVF file”.
Specify a Virtual Machine Name and select the NSX OVA file that I downloaded from the VMware website.
Specify the storage.
Specify the network and specify a deployment size. Make sure the VM is powered on automatically.
Specify the parameters as per this table:
Review the details and click on “Finish” to start the deployment.
In the “Recent Tasks” section in the ESXi Server I can track the deployment status.
Verify if the VM is powered on.
Log in for the first time
Now that the first NSX Manager Node is deployed I can log in to the GUI.
Accept the End User Licence Agreement.
Specify if I want to join the “Customer Experience Improvement Program”.
NSX 4.0.0.1 has a “Welcome wizard” to point out where I can find what. Click on “Next”.
The wizard point out “Networking”.
The wizard point out “Security”.
The wizard point out “Plan & Troubleshoot”.
The wizard point out “System”. Click the box “Don’t show this again” and “Got it”.
Now that the first NSX Manager Node is deployed and I am logged in I will see a blue bar at the top to inform that a license needs to be added.
STEP 2: Add the NSX License
Product | License key |
---|---|
VMware NSX | 3M2U7-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
|
I can either click on the “Manage Licences” button in the blue top bar.
Or I can go to System → Settings → Licences and click on “Add License”.
Add the license.
Verify if the license is added.
STEP 3: Add a Compute Manager
To prepare ESXi hosts to be an NSX Host Transport Node I need to add a Compute Manager. This is also needed if I want to deploy NSX Edge Transport Nodes and additional NSX Manager Nodes (to form an NSX Manager Cluster” using the NSX GUI.
I add a compute manager by going to System → Configuration → Fabric → Compute Managers → and click on “Add Compute Manager”.
Use the following parameters to add the Compute Manager and click on “Add” when I am finished.
Parameter Name | Input |
---|---|
Name | pod-120-vcenter.sddc.lab |
FQDN or IP Address | pod-120-vcenter.sddc.lab |
Username | administrator@vsphere.local |
Password | VMware1! |
Enable Trust | Yes |
Access Level | Full Access |
When I click “Save” I get a message to add the missing Fingerprint of the vCenter server. Click on “Add”.
After I clicked on add I will see that the add is “In Progress”.
Look for the “Registered” and “Up” status when the Compute Manager is added successfully.
STEP 4: Deploy the second and third NSX Manager to form an NSX Manager Cluster
To form an NSX Manager Cluster I need two additional NSX Manager Nodes. These Manager Nodes can be deployed manually and added to the cluster using some CLI commands, or I can deploy the NSX Manager Nodes from the first NSX Manager Node’s GUI (Compute Manager configuration is required for this).
Deploy the second and third NSX Manager to form an NSX Manager Cluster (using the CLI) | Using the NSX Manager standalone deployments
Let’s start with the manual deployment of the second and third NSX Manager Nodes. Just for demonstration purposes I will also deploy these new NSX Manager Nodes in a different IP range (network) then the first one.
The table below will contain all the configuration parameters that I will need to deploy the second and third NSX Manager Node manually.
Parameter Name | Input Second Node | Input Third Node |

When I look at the NSX Home screen I will see the warning “3 node cluster recommended”.
When I click on “Deploy Nodes” it will take me to the Appliances screen.
I can also manually browse to the Appliances screen by browsing to System → Configuration → Appliances.
Notice that only one Node is listed.
Get information from the first NSX Manager Node
Make note of the IP address of the first NSX Manager Node.

Are you sure? (yes/no): yes Join operation successful. Services are being restarted. Cluster may take some time to stabilize. Pod-120-NSXT-LM-2>
After I have issued the join command I can look at the Appliances screen to track the progress. During the join I might see some strange outputs like the one, but patience is key.
Joining and cluster stabilising will take around 15 minutes to finish.
When the join is completed I will now have an NSX Manager Cluster with two NSX Manager Nodes.
I can issue the following CLI commands to verify is the status is “UP” for all the services.

Deploy the second and third NSX Manager to form an NSX Manager Cluster | Using the NSX Manager GUI
When I do not want to deploy the NSX Manager Nodes manually I can deploy the NSX Manager Nodes from the first NSX Manager Node using the GUI (Compute Manager configuration is required for this).
When I look at the NSX Home screen I will see the warning “3 node cluster recommended”.
When I click on “Deploy Nodes” it will take me to the Appliances screen.
I can also manually browse to the Appliances screen by browsing to System → Configuration → Appliances.
Notice that only one Node is listed.
Again for demonstration purposes I will now deploy these new NSX Manager Nodes in the same IP range (network) then the first one. I will need this later when I want to configure a Virtual IP address on the NSX Manager Cluster.
The table below will contain all the configuration parameters that I will need to deploy the second and third NSX Manager Node using the GUI.
Parameter Name | Input Second Node | Input Third Node |

Add the second NSX Manager Node
After I clicked “Add NSX Appliance” I can start with the deployment of the second NSX Manager Node. Use the Configuration Parameters from the table above to specify the Appliance Information.
Use the Configuration Parameters from the table above to specify the Configuration.
Use the Configuration Parameters from the table above to specify the Access & Credentials.
After I have clicked “Install Appliance” I can look at the Appliances screen to track the progress.
After I have clicked “Install Appliance” I can look at the Appliances screen to track the progress.
When the deployment is completed I will now have an NSX Manager Cluster with two NSX Manager Nodes.
Add the third NSX Manager Node
Click on “Add NSX Appliance” again to start with the deployment of the third NSX Manager Node. Use the Configuration Parameters from the table above to specify the Appliance Information.
Use the Configuration Parameters from the table above to specify the Configuration.
Use the Configuration Parameters from the table above to specify the Access & Credentials.
After I have clicked “Install Appliance” I can look at the Appliances screen to track the progress.
After I have clicked “Install Appliance” I can look at the Appliances screen to track the progress.
When the deployment is completed I will now have an NSX Manager Cluster with three NSX Manager Nodes.
One thing that I want to point out is that if I have manually deployed an NSX Manager Node I will not be able to delete it from the GUI. Look as the button that is greyed out.
When I have deployed an NSX Manager Node using the GUI I will be able to delete it from the GUI. Look as the button that can now be used.
Also pay attention to the NSX Home screen that the W warning “3 node cluster recommended” is now gone.
STEP 5: Configure the NSX Virtual IP Address (VIP)
Now that I have an NSX Manager Cluster consisting out of three Nodes I can configure the NSX Manager Cluster Virtual IP Address.
Parameter Name | Input |
---|---|
Virtual IP | 10.203.120.11 |
NSX Manager Nodes not in the same network
One of the constraints of configuring an NSX Manager Cluster Virtual IP Address is that all the Nodes needs to be part of the same network.
For demonstration purpose I have three NSX Manager Nodes that are NOT in the same network. Click on “Set Virtual IP”.
Specify the IP address.
Make note of the error, as I am trying to do something that is not allowed.
NSX Manager Nodes in the same network
Let’s now try it with three NSX Manager Nodes that ARE in the same network. Click on “Set Virtual IP”.
Specify the IP address.
Look at the status.
Verify if the Virtual IP is correctly configured below the “Virtual IP” label.
I can now browse to the FQDN that translates to the Virtual IP address to connect to the NSX Manager Cluster using this new Virtual IP address.
When I have the Virtual IP address (VIP) configured one of the NSX Manager Nodes will always be the leader, and this VIP is bound to the leader. To find out which NSX Manager Node is the leader issue the following command:
