Hi all,
Is it required to have the VIP of the NLB already configured and operating BEFORE the final command to configure PSC HA is run (UpdateLsEndpoint)?
i.e. Before you run the last command for the PSC HA, the actual NLB VIP is already configured and functioning?
I ask this as I need to deploy a vCenter/PSC before I deploy NSX and I wanted to use the NLB function of NSX to allow me to protect the PSCs with HA/NLB.
So, in the interest of saving a few minutes, I was thinking that I might be able to install 2 extra PSCs in the environment in parallel and configure them as much as possible for PSC HA.
Then deploy the NSX and NLB and configure the VIP for the PSC NLB.
Then finally just repoint the vCenter to the PSC NLB.
However trying all that in my test lab, I am seeing that the last command is failing and I saw the words "No route to host (Host unreachable)" in the output.
So I suspect that the command is somehow trying to reach the PSCs through the NLB IP and, as I don´t yet have that configured, is failing.
Does that sound right?
If it is correct it isn´t a big deal as I will just leave that last command until the NSX and NLB is 100% ready.
I just wanted to check if that was indeed the case to confirm my suspicions.
By the way I deployed the PSCs using the ISO for vCenter appliance 6.5 GA
Thanks in advance
Mark
