Symptoms
Edge Appliance CPU reservation is different than expected on 3.0.0.For example, when deploying a Large Form Factor Edge Node VM, the vCenter Cluster CPU reservation for the edge appliance is created as 8MHz, where as a reservation of 8,000MHz is expected.
Purpose
The purpose of this KB is to provide how to fix CPU reservation of NSX-T Edge VMs.
Cause
The NSX-T Manager Edge CPU Reservation is incorrectly defined in the OVA:OVF AllocationUnits are hertz * 10^6OVF AllocationUnits should be hertz * 10^9
Impact / Risks
CPU reservation is different from the expected value.
Resolution
This issue is resolved in NSX 3.0.1.
Workaround
At the time of deployment:
In NSX-T 3.0 and later, this reservation is now configurable during Edge Node deployment:, reference https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.0/installation/GUID-53295329-F02F-44D7-A6E0-2E3A9FAE6CF9.html
After the deployment:
1. Increase the CPU reservation by a factor of 1000• a restart of the Edge Appliance is not required
