Admin Utility

The NSXv and the NSXv3 support the nsxadmin utility. This enables and administrator to determine and rectify inconsistencies between the Neutron DB and the NSX. usage: nsxadmin -r <resources> -o <operation>

NSXv

The following resources are supported: 'security-groups', 'edges', 'networks', 'firewall-sections', 'orphaned-edges', 'spoofguard-policy', 'missing-edges', 'backup-edges', 'nsx-security-groups', 'dhcp-binding' and 'metadata'

Edges

  • List backend NSX edges with their id, name and some more information:

    nsxadmin -r edges -o nsx-list
  • Neutron list:

    nsxadmin -r edges -o neutron-list
  • Update Resource pool / Datastore on all edges in the backend. This utility can update resource pool and datastore ID of all edges to the nsx.ini configuration:

    nsxadmin -r edges -o nsx-update-all --property appliances=True
  • Update Resource pool / Datastore / edge HA of an edge: This utility can be used on upgrade after the customer added ha_datastore_id to the nsx.ini configuration or after changing the resource pool / data store globally or per availability zone. This Utility can update the deployment of existing edges:

    nsxadmin -r edges -o nsx-update --property edge-id=<edge-id> --property appliances=True
  • Update the size of an edge:

    nsxadmin -r edges -o nsx-update --property edge-id=edge-55 --property size=compact
  • Update the high availability of an edge: enable/disable high availability of an edge:

    nsxadmin -r edges -o nsx-update --property edge-id=edge-55 --property highavailability=<True/False>

Orphaned Edges

  • List orphaned edges (exist on NSXv backend but don't have a corresponding binding in Neutron DB):

    nsxadmin -r orphaned-edges -o list
  • Clean orphaned edges (delete edges from NSXv backend):

    nsxadmin -r orphaned-edges -o clean

Missing Edges

  • List missing edges on NSX. This includes missing networks on those edges:

    nsxadmin -r missing-edges -o list

Backup Edges

  • List Edge name mismatches between DB and backend, and backup edges that are missing from the backend:

    nsxadmin -r backup-edges -o list-mismatches
  • Fix Edge name mismatch between DB and backend by updating the name on the backend:

    nsxadmin -r backup-edges -o fix-mismatch --property edge-id=edge-9

Routers

  • Recreate a router edge by moving the router/s to other edge/s:

    nsxadmin -r routers -o nsx-recreate --property edge-id=edge-308

Networks

    nsxadmin -r networks -o nsx-update --property dvs-id=<id> --property teamingpolicy=<policy>
  • List backend networks and their network morefs:

    nsxadmin -r networks -o list

Missing Networks

    nsxadmin -r missing-networks -o list

    nsxadmin -r orphaned-networks -o list
  • Delete a backend network by it's moref:

    nsxadmin -r orphaned-networks -o nsx-clean --property moref=<moref>

Security Groups, Firewall and Spoofguard

  • Security groups. This adds support to list security-groups mappings and miss-matches between the mappings and backend resources as: firewall-sections and nsx-security-groups:

    nsxadmin --resource security-groups --operation list
    nsxadmin -r nsx-security-groups -o {list, list-missmatches}
    nsxadmin -r firewall-sections -o {list, list-missmatches}
  • Spoofguard support:

    nsxadmin -r spoofguard-policy -o list-mismatches
    nsxadmin -r spoofguard-policy -o clean --property policy-id=spoofguardpolicy-10
    nsxadmin -r spoofguard-policy -o list --property reverse (entries defined on NSXv and not in Neutron)
  • Migrate a security group from using rules to using a policy

    nsxadmin -r security-groups -o migrate-to-policy --property policy-id=policy-10 --property security-group-id=733f0741-fa2c-4b32-811c-b78e4dc8ec39

Metadata

  • Update loadbalancer members on router and DHCP edges:

    nsxadmin -r metadata -o nsx-update
  • Update shared secret on router and DHCP edges:

    nsxadmin -r metadata -o nsx-update-secret

Upgrade Steps (Version 1.0.0 to Version 1.1.0)

  1. Upgrade NSX backend from version 1.0.0 to version 1.1.0

  2. Create a DHCP-Profile and a Metadata-Proxy in NSX backend

  3. Stop Neutron

  4. Install version 1.1.0 Neutron plugin

  5. Run admin tools to migrate version 1.0.0 objects to version 1.1.0 objects

    nsxadmin -r metadata-proxy -o nsx-update --property metadata_proxy_uuid=<UUID of Metadata-Proxy created in Step 2>

    nsxadmin -r dhcp-binding -o nsx-update --property dhcp_profile_uuid=<UUID of DHCP-Profile created in Step 2>

  6. Start Neutron

  7. Make sure /etc/nova/nova.conf has metadata_proxy_shared_secret = <Secret of Metadata-Proxy created in Step 2>

  8. Restart VMs or ifdown/ifup their network interface to get new DHCP options
