Removing NSX gracefully from the UI fails.Removing NSX from the ESXi host directly via the NSXCLI with the 'nsxcli -c del nsx' command fails.On the ESXi host the following vDS property is observed to be RUNTIME instead of expected CONFIG #net-dvs | grep "com.vmware.common.opaqueDvs.status.component.vswitch" com.vmware.common.opaqueDvs.status.component.vswitch = up , propType = RUNTIME In the NSX-T manager log '/var/log/syslog' we see the following entries during failed removal from the NSx-T UI: Host configuration: host switch remove operation failed: [Failed to hot-swap cvds [\'50 0d a0 72 e3 9d 14 44-c3 e2 bc a7 a5 e0 5d 98\']ApplyNsxDvsConfig on (50 0d a0 72 e3 9d 14 44-c3 e2 bc a7 a5 e0 5d 98) failed: {\'fault\': \'PlatformConfigFault\', \'msg\': \'An error occurred during host configuration.\', \'faultMessage\': [\'Operation failed, diagnostics report: Unable to clear DVS propertycom.vmware.nsx.vdl2.enabled: Status(bad0004)= Busy\']}]; LogicalSwitch full-sync: LogicalSwitch full-sync realization query skipped. In the ESXi log /var/run/log/nsxcli.log after we run the 'del nsx' command we see the following entry: % Exception when deleting nsx from host: ' error code: 4 stdout: delete_nsx_instance_from_host.sh: INFO: NSX reset script called with argument fabric_node on nsx-esx delete_nsx_instance_from_host.sh: INFO: Run transport_node reset on ESX node % Failed to remove all host switches or logical switches delete_nsx_instance_from_host.sh: ERROR: Failed to reset nsxa app of nsx-opsagent.

This issue occurs due to a change in API behaviour when updating the status of vDS properties.
This is a known issue impacting VMware NSX.
Execute the following commands from the ESXi shell: 1. Log into the shell of the impacted ESXi host2. Check the vDS name #net-dvs | grep "com.vmware.common.alias" 3. Correct the problem vDS property #net-dvs -s com.vmware.common.opaqueDvs.status.component.vswitch=up -p hostPropList <vDS Name> <vDS Name> from step 2 4. Now continue with uninstall of the host if that was the desired objective.
