Managing VMware NSX with VPLEX on VxBlock
Systems
This section provides the procedures for failover and recovery of VMware NSX with VPLEX on VxBlock
Systems.
This section is not applicable for vSphere 6.5.
The VxBlock System where all the VMware vSphere core VMs (PSCs, VC, and VUM) and VMware NSX
VMs (NSX Manager and controllers) reside is the primary site. The other VxBlock System is the
secondary site.
All the VMware vSphere core VMs (PSCs, VC, and VUM) and VMware NSX VMs (NSX Manager and
controllers) reside on a shared stretched LUN provided by VPLEX in the same stretched VMware
vSphere management cluster. The VMs are hosted by VMware vSphere ESXi hosts on Cisco UCS B-
Series blades and connected to a separate Layer 3 management port group.
All the customer VMs reside on a shared stretched LUN provided by VPLEX in the same stretched
VMware vSphere compute cluster. The VMs are hosted by VMware vSphere ESXi hosts on Cisco UCS B-
Series blades and connected to a VXLAN port group. These VMs can reside on any VMware vSphere
ESXi host in the primary site or the secondary site.
Performing a graceful failover
This procedure explains how to gracefully fail over management components from the primary site to the
secondary site.
Procedure
1
Disable DRS on the stretched VMware vSphere management cluster.
After migrating VMs to the secondary site, disabling DRS prevents VMs from
automatically migrating back to the primary site. Expect a loss of network connectivity
to all the VMs until the SVI is switched over.
a
On the VMware vSphere Web Client
Home
tab, under
Inventories
, click
Hosts and
Clusters
.
b
Expand
Datacenter
to view all the vSphere clusters.
c
Left-click the
Management VPLEX vSphere cluster
and select the
Manage
tab.
d
Click
vSphere DRS
and select
Edit
.
e
Uncheck the box
Turn ON vSphere DRS
. This stops the VM from migrating back to the hosts
in the primary site after they have been migrated to the secondary site.
