NSX Upgrade Failure

Issue When upgrading our one production NSX 4.1.2.1 environment I ran into an interesting error trying to upgrade our Bare Metal Tier 0 nodes. Prepare edge upgrade bundle https://10.10.0.1/repository/4.1.2.3.0.23382408/Edge/nub/VMware-NSX-edge-4.1.2.3.0.23382424.nub failed on edge TransportNode UUID: clientType EDGE , target edge fabric node id UUID, return status Download and verify bundle failed with msg: Checking upgrade bundle /var/vmware/nsx/file-store/VMware-NSX-edge-4.1.2.3.0.23382424.nub contents Verifying bundle VMware-NSX-edge-4.1.2.3.0.23382424.bundle with signature VMware-NSX-edge-4.1.2.3.0.23382424.bundle.sig Failed to verify bundle: ['gpg', '--homedir', '/root/.gnupg', '--verify', '/tmp/tmpc75b6zcx/VMware-NSX-edge-4.1.2.3.0.23382424.bundle.sig', '/tmp/tmpc75b6zcx/VMware-NSX-edge-4.1.2.3.0.23382424.bundle'] returned 2: b"gpg: Signature made Mon 26 Feb 2024 10:40:20 PM MST\ngpg: using RSA key E51BDAAAFDF4DC95\ngpg: Can't check signature: No public key\n" . However, my T1 edge nodes (which were set to upgrade first) had no problem with the same upgrade package. What a mystery!

NSX - Node with the same IP already exists

Versions, for posterity vCenter 8.0.1 - build 22088981 ESXi - 22088125 NSX - 4.1.0.2 Backstory I recently came across a rather interesting issue. Long story short, I needed to rebuild one of my NSX-prepared hosts. I put the host in maintenance mode, pulled it out of my NSX cluster, disconnected the host, and removed it from vCenter.

Configuring VMware NSX Backups Using SSH Keys

Introduction Important: Starting with version 4.0, VMware NSX-T Data Center is known as VMware NSX. That’s important to note because when you google anything with NSX these days, you either get NSX-T documentation or NSX-v documentation. This post is about VMware NSX (Specifically NSX 4.1.0.2, but this should work on any NSX 4+ installation).
