What happens if I remove an
NSX
cloud account association in
VMware Aria Automation

If you remove an association between an
NSX
cloud account and a
vCenter
cloud account, you also need to update the related network profiles to remove the associated
NSX
objects.
If you remove an association between an
NSX
cloud account and a
vCenter
cloud account, the infrastructure elements are not updated automatically by
VMware Aria Automation
. You must update your existing network profiles to remove the associated
NSX
objects.
The user interface provides information to help highlight the impacted network profile elements as follows:
  • If the network profile has an
    NSX
    existing network selected:
    • The object is marked as
      invalid
      and the message
      Some network objects are missing or invalid.
      is displayed.
    • The objects are removed when you save the network profile.
  • If the network profile has app isolation configured, you must update the Isolation policy settings before the network profile can be saved.
  • If the network profile has security groups or load balancers selected, the objects are removed when you save the network profile.
Existing deployments continue to work as designed for existing components, but will fail when creating new components, for example in a scale-out operation.
If you re-establish the association, the network profile is repopulated and existing deployments work as designed.
If you remove the
NSX
cloud account, the above behavior is the same, but network objects are marked as
missing
rather than
invalid
.
