Symptoms
Screenshot showing that some or all the required IP addresses to add or update an existing service are missing: (VXFM00561)
Impact
Unable to ingest the MDS system as a resource group.
Cause
To include an existing resource group, the wizard expects to have all the necessary network objects associated with the PowerFlex system. For instance, the PowerFlex system uses network types such as vMotion, PowerFlex Management, PowerFlex Data1, PowerFlex Data2, and Hypervisor Management. In this specific case, the vSwitch in vCenter had a single port group containing both Hypervisor Management and PowerFlex Management. The wizard only included a dropdown item for the Hypervisor Management network type, omitting the dropdown object for PowerFlex Management. All network types linked to PFxM are essential for properly incorporating the PowerFlex system as a resource group.
Resolution
In vCenter, create another port group on the same vSwitch and separate the PowerFlex Management and Hypervisor Management networks.
The SVMs must point to the newly created port group.
In PFxM, run inventory on vCenter
