NSX Plugin 1.2 in VRA 7.6 Not Generating NSX Security Groups in a Page (NOT SOLVED YET)

Recently, we have an ongoing issue where the NSX Plugin in VRO is not populating one page out of 4 pages and this is messing up our VRO Code to create and put Security Tags (NSX-V) on our VMs.

Below is a screenshot of the issue

This shows that the other pages have security groups in them but page-1 under one of the NSX Manager (NSX-V version 6.4.x) are not populated.

I have already deleted and re-installed the NSX-V Plugin using the VRO Control Center to no resolution.

The issue is not resolved yet and I will update this post with the resolution soon.

How to Unregister a VM which is missing in VRA 7.6

Recently I had to get rid of multiple vms through VRA, However, I found that some of the vms status was showing as missing. This happens if the VM has already been deleted through the vCenter and VRA can’t find that VM in the vCenter.

The way you can see the missing status is you go to the deployments tab, check the Status if its ON, OFF or Missing (?) as the screenshot shows below:

The missing status is displayed next to the VM Name

Some of the info in the screenshot has been removed to protect my Organization Data and the VM Names have also been changed for the same purpose.

In VRA 7.6, you can unregister it easily using the GUI, You click on the Deployment Name

Then click on the VM Name itself (in this case its DC1Test001), then click on the small gear icon and then click on the option “Unregister” in the drop down menu as in the screenshot below:
The unregister option will remove this VM from the VRA internal DB so that it doesn’t show up in VRA.

Hope this post helps, as I was not able to see any blog posts regarding this simple unregister procedure in VRA 7.6
