NSX UI does not load information

Issue

NSX UI does not load for one manager node holding the VIP
NSX Version 4.1.2.1.0.22667794

Error message:
Feb 8, 2024, 3:22:39 PM : Error: Failed to fetch System details. Please contact the administrator. Error: 400 : "{<EOL> "details" : "SEARCH_FRAMEWORK_INITIALIZATION_FAILED, params: [manager]",<EOL> "httpStatus" : "BAD_REQUEST",<EO> "error_code" : 60525,<EOL> "module_name" : "nsx-search",<EOL> "error_message" : "Search framework initialization failed, please restart the service via 'restart service manager'."<EOL>}" (Error code: 513002)

Solution

In my case the solution was quite simple. I restarted the service manager on the NSX Manager appliance indicated by the VIP, as per the image below...

> restart service manager

... and it worked

That's it.

Adding a Static Route to macOS

Issue

A quick post just to remind myself how to add a static route to macOS when I need it.

Solution

sudo route -n add -net X.X.X.X/Z Y.Y.Y.Y

Symbol legend:
X.X.X.X is the network that we want reach out
Z is the subnet mask in CIDR notation
   255.0.0.0 = 8
   255.255.0.0 = 16
   255.255.255.0 = 24
Y.Y.Y.Y it is the IP address where we find the subnet we want to reach


Examples
If we want to reach the subnet 172.16.11.0/24 and we know that is behind the IP 192.168.1.45 (that is not your default gateway); we have to add the route as follows:

sudo route -n add -net 172.16.11.0/24 192.168.1.45

That's it.
