⚠️ 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.

Untitled%2010.png

In the “Recent Tasks” section in the vCenter Server I can track the deployment status.

Untitled%2011.png

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.

Untitled%2012.png

The NSX Manager VM is now powered on.

Log in for the first time

Now that the first NSX Manager Node is deployed I can log in to the GUI.

Untitled%2023.png

Accept the End User Licence Agreement.

Untitled%2024.png

Specify if I want to join the “Customer Experience Improvement Program”.

Untitled%2025.png

NSX 4.0.0.1 has a “Welcome wizard” to point out where I can find what. Click on “Next”.

Untitled%2026.png

The wizard point out “Networking”.

Untitled%2027.png

The wizard point out “Security”.

Untitled%2028.png

The wizard point out “Plan & Troubleshoot”.

Untitled%2029.png

The wizard point out “System”. Click the box “Don’t show this again” and “Got it”.

Untitled%2030.png

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.

Untitled%2031.png

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.

Untitled%2032.png

Or I can go to System → Settings → Licences and click on “Add License”.

Untitled%2033.png

Add the license.

Untitled%2034.png

Verify if the license is added.

Untitled%2035.png

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”.

Untitled%2036.png

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

Untitled%2037.png

When I click “Save” I get a message to add the missing Fingerprint of the vCenter server. Click on “Add”.

Untitled%2038.png

After I clicked on add I will see that the add is “In Progress”.

Untitled%2039.png

Look for the “Registered” and “Up” status when the Compute Manager is added successfully.

Untitled%2040.png

Untitled%2041.png

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.

Untitled%2042.png

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
vSphere Cluster N/A N/A
VM Name Pod-120-NSXT-LM-2 Pod-120-NSXT-LM-3

Add the second NSX Manager Node

The deployment of the second / third NSX Manager Node can be done using the vCenter Server or ESXi Server deployments described earlier.

Join the second NSX Manager Node to the first Node (cluster).

Data on this node will be lost. 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.

Untitled%2045.png

Joining and cluster stabilising will take around 15 minutes to finish.

Untitled%2046.png

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.

Add the third NSX Manager Node

When the join is completed I will now have an NSX Manager Cluster with two NSX Manager Nodes.

Join the third NSX Manager Node to the first and second Nodes (cluster).

Data on this node will be lost. Are you sure? (yes/no): yes
Join operation successful. Services are being restarted. Cluster may take some time to stabilize.

Pod-120-NSXT-LM-3>

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 three 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.

Untitled%2043.png

I can also manually browse to the Appliances screen by browsing to System → Configuration → Appliances.

Untitled%2049.png

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.

Untitled%2050.png

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.

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.

Untitled%2051.png

Use the Configuration Parameters from the table above to specify the Configuration.

Untitled%2052.png

Use the Configuration Parameters from the table above to specify the Access & Credentials.

Untitled%2053.png

After I have clicked “Install Appliance” I can look at the Appliances screen to track the progress.

Untitled%2054.png

After I have clicked “Install Appliance” I can look at the Appliances screen to track the progress.

Untitled%2055.png

When the deployment is completed I will now have an NSX Manager Cluster with two NSX Manager Nodes.

Untitled%2056.png

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.

Untitled%2058.png

Untitled%2061.png

When the deployment is completed I will now have an NSX Manager Cluster with three NSX Manager Nodes.

Untitled%2062.png

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.

Untitled%2063.png

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.

Untitled%2064.png

Also pay attention to the NSX Home screen that the W warning “3 node cluster recommended” is now gone.

Untitled%2065.png

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.

Untitled%2066.png

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”.

Untitled%2067.png

Specify the IP address.

Untitled%2068.png

Make note of the error, as I am trying to do something that is not allowed.

Untitled%2069.png

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”.

Untitled%2070.png

Specify the IP address.

Untitled%2071.png

Look at the status.

Untitled%2072.png

Verify if the Virtual IP is correctly configured below the “Virtual IP” label.

Untitled%2073.png

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.

Untitled%2074.png

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:
