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

-- NSX list:

nsxadmin -r edges -o nsx-list

-- Neutron list:

nsxadmin -r edges -o neutron-list
  • Edge Datastore HA: This admin utility can be used on upgrade after the customer added ha_datastore_id to the nsx.ini configuration, in order to update the deployment of existing edges. The new edge appliances configuration will be taken from the nsx.ini, including the datastrore_id, ha_datastore_id, edge_ha. The edge current resource pool & appliance size will not change:

    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

Orphaned Edges

  • List orphaned edges:

    nsxadmin -r orphaned-edges -o list
  • Clean orphaned edges:

    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 backup edges:

    nsxadmin -r backup-edges -o list
  • Delete backup edge:

    nsxadmin -r backup-edges -o clean --property edge-id=edge-9

-- List Edge name mismatches between DB and backend:

nsxadmin -r backup-edges -o list-mismatches

-- Fix Edge name mismatch between DB and backend:

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

DHCP Bindings

  • List missing DHCP bindings:

    nsxadmin -r dhcp-binding -o list
  • Update DHCP bindings on an edge:

    nsxadmin -r dhcp-binding -o nsx-update --property edge-id=edge-15

Networks

  • Ability to update or get the teaming policy for a DVS:

    nsxadmin -r networks -o nsx-update --property dvs-id=<id> --property teamingpolicy=<policy>
  • Support getting network morefs:

    nsxadmin -r networks -o list

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)

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

NSXv3

The following resources are supported: 'security-groups', 'routers', 'networks', 'nsx-security-groups', 'dhcp-binding' and 'ports'.

  • List missing networks:

    nsxadmin -r networks -o list-mismatches
  • List missing routers:

    nsxadmin -r routers -o list-mismatches
  • List missing ports:

    nsxadmin -r ports -o list-mismatches
