So for our game plan, let's do some clean up.
And for the cleanup, we're going to do all of our work
by being logged in directly here at the Global Manager.
And then from the Global Manager,
if we ever needed to jump over to the configuration here,
the Local Manager for Site 1,
or the Local Manager for Site 2,
we can do that right here from the interface at the Global Manager.
And again, this will be picking up from where we left off the topology
in the previous skill where we implemented the NSX Federation to begin with.
So with that being said, let's head over to the Global Manager.
So here at the Global NSX Manager up at the top right here, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So here at the Global NSX Manager up at the top right here,
we can go ahead and use the dropdown.
If we ever needed to jump over to Site 1 or Site 2,
we can do that right here from the Global Manager.
So currently, we have the NSX Global Manager selected.
And if we click here on System,
that can confirm for us, the details for our Global Manager,
also confirm for us right here,
that Site 1 is good to go, and also Site 2 as well,
including the remote tunnel endpoints.
And if we click here on Location Manager,
that also confirms those details
where we have the NSX Global Manager right here,
and then below it, Site 1 and Site 2, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
and then below it, Site 1 and Site 2,
and everything looks good to go.
All right, so from the Global Manager,
if we click on the Networking tab up here at the top,
it defaults to Network Overview,
and we have two Tier 0 gateways,
five Tier 1 gateways,
and seven segments and two net rules.
And because many of these have interdependencies,
for example, the Tier 1s are connected to the Tier 0,
and segments are connected to Tier 1s,
if we want to remove some of the config,
we need to start here at these segments.
So here are all the segments.
So this is the stretch segment that we have stretched across, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So this is the stretch segment that we have stretched across,
Site 1 and Site 2, and all the other segments were imported
when we onboarded Site 1 and Site 2.
Also, I'm looking over here at the ports and interfaces,
and almost all of these have at least one VM connected.
So before we can delete the segment,
we need to go to the VCR client
and move the VMs off of those segments
before it'll let us delete them.
For example, it's right here, Site 2 Lab 2, Site 30,
if we try to delete that by clicking on the three dots,
and then clicking on delete, and then clicking on delete,
it says, "Wah, wah, wah, can't delete it."
So let's head over to the VCR client in charge of Site 1, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So let's head over to the VCR client in charge of Site 1,
and also to the VCR client in charge of Site 2,
and let's move all the VMs at both sites
off of any existing NSX segments
so that we can go ahead and delete them.
So here in the VCR client,
and this is for Site 1 that we're dealing with right here,
let's click on the networking tab,
and let's go down to our NSX segments,
and we have a couple there.
So fast way to move these is to right click on the network segment,
and then from the menu click right here on Migrate VMs
to another network, and I'm going to park them all
on my Management Pork Group temporarily WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
on my Management Pork Group temporarily
until we move them to a new stretch segment
we create as part of this set of videos.
So we'll click on Next, and I'll select all those VMs
that are currently on that segment,
and migrate all of them with just a couple clicks,
and they should disappear here in just a moment
because they are being moved over
to the Lab Management Pork Group.
Fantastic, so here is another NSX segment,
and Mint A is on segment 10, so we'll right click,
and from the dropdown click on Migrate VMs
to another network, and then we'll go ahead and choose a target,
I'll put it on my Pork Group for the Management Network, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
I'll put it on my Pork Group for the Management Network,
click on Next, I'll go ahead and select Mint A,
click on Next, and Finish, and that's being moved,
and then on our external segment, no VMs there,
and for Seg 50 stretched, we have one there,
so we'll right click and Migrate VMs to another network,
and choose my Management Pork Group, click on Next,
then I'll select that VM, click on Next,
and Finish, and now we should have at Site A,
no more VMs on any of the NSX segments that looks good,
so let's head over to the vCenter that's managing Site 2. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
so let's head over to the vCenter that's managing Site 2.
So I put Site 2 here in dark mode, so it will stand out,
so this is vcsa-2.ogit.lab,
and let's go to the Networking tab here,
and let's go down to our NSX segments,
the ones here with the ends,
and we have nobody on that one,
and we have one here, so I'll right click on that segment,
and then from the dropdown, choose Migrate VMs to another network,
I'll park that over on the Lab 2 Management Pork Group,
click on Next, and select all the VMs there,
all that one, I'll select that VM there, Lab 2 Tiny,
click on Next, and Finish, and that should move, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
click on Next, and Finish, and that should move,
so that is Survey Says, that is now gone, fantastic,
and Seg 50 has one as well, so we'll right click and Migrate,
and we'll park it over there on the Management Pork Group,
and select that VM as well, click on Next, and Finish,
and that'll be moved as well, so just to confirm,
we have no VMs connected to any of these overlay segments,
fantastic, so let's go back to the NSX Global Manager,
so back at the Global Manager, if we do a refresh,
so let's take all the overlay segments that no longer WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
so let's take all the overlay segments that no longer
have those VMs attached and we'll delete them,
so we'll click on the three dots, delete and delete,
and let's go to the next one, which is right here,
Site 1, Site 10, click on the three dots,
click on Delete and Delete, fantastic,
let's next go to Site 1, Site 20, click on Edit,
click on the three dots, click on Delete and Delete,
and then we'll go down to this one right here,
which is Site 2 Lab 2, Site 30, delete that segment,
delete, and let's also go down to this one right here, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
delete, and let's also go down to this one right here,
and Delete and Delete, and click on Refresh,
and that looks great, now these two external segments,
ones for VLAN 23, and the other ones for VLAN 24
for Site 1 and Site 2, respectively,
those have some encumbrances, because we have the Tier 0
gateways at each of those sites,
which are currently using those external segments,
sure enough right here, so as you can't delete this
being referenced by another object,
and that is the Tier 0 interface,
let's go to our Tier 0 gateway,
and if we try to delete the Tier 0 gateway,
it's also gonna complain because we have our Tier 1 WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
it's also gonna complain because we have our Tier 1
gateways attached to it, so let's do these in order,
we'll go to our Tier 1 gateways,
and let's go ahead and delete those first,
so we'll delete all the Tier 1 gateways,
so let's just go through that step by step,
clicking on the three dots for each of them,
delete and delete and delete and delete.
Including our T1 stretched,
we created in the previous set of videos,
sold to delete that as well,
and we'll do a refresh and boom,
we have no more Tier 1 gateways,
so if we go to our Tier 0 gateways now,
we might have a better chance of deleting them, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
we might have a better chance of deleting them,
so we'll go ahead and take the first one there,
and delete and delete,
oh, we still have our reference,
and it says .62 can't be deleted,
dah, dah, dah, dah,
oh, it's the virtual IP address that we have associated
with those gateways, so let's edit.
The Tier 0 gateways,
so we'll click on edit,
and the problem is right here,
on the HA virtual IP address,
currently it's leveraging for that HA virtual IP address,
it's leveraging our edges,
there's Edge 1 and Edge 2,
so let's go ahead and delete the VIP information here,
associated with the Tier 0 gateway, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
associated with the Tier 0 gateway,
click on apply,
and now that's deleted,
we'll go ahead and click on save,
and close editing,
and let's see if we can now delete it,
so we'll click on delete for the gateway,
delete, and survey says no problem,
fantastic, so let's refresh here,
and let's do the same thing for the site to gateway 0,
we'll go in and edit it first,
to remove the virtual IP address,
it's using the edges,
so we'll delete that virtual IP information,
save that,
close editing,
and now that we're not referencing those Edge nodes, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
and now that we're not referencing those Edge nodes,
let's go ahead and click on the three dots,
and click on delete,
and yeah, it's gone,
so we've just wiped out the entire topology,
at all of our sites,
so right here on the global manager,
if we click on networking and network overview,
it shows us we have no Tier 0 or Tier 1 gateways,
oh, we have a couple segments still,
and those would be our external segments,
and we are going to need those,
but we'll just recreate them,
I want our nice fresh clean slate,
so we'll delete each of those as well,
and delete again, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
and delete again,
and click on refresh,
and now if we go to network overview,
we should have absolutely nothing as far as segments,
or Tier 1 gateways,
or Tier 0 gateways,
and if we popped over to one of our local managers,
and a fast way of doing that is right here from the dropdown,
let's go to site 1,
by clicking on site 1 from the dropdown,
and that whisks us away through time and space to site 1,
so that's showing us right here,
that we're currently at site 1,
so effectively we're connected to the site 1 local manager, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
so effectively we're connected to the site 1 local manager,
so from here,
if we go to networking at site 1,
and click on network topology,
you'll notice that there is nothing here to display,
because there's no Tier 0 gateways,
no Tier 1 gateways,
no segments,
no nothing.
Alright, so let's go back to the NSX global manager,
there's a couple ways of doing that.
We can click here on the NSX logo,
that'll take us back to the global manager,
or we could use the dropdown once again,
and from the dropdown,
choose the NSX global,
and it'll take us back to the global manager,
including a little message here,
that's just happened. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
that's just happened.
So now as far as our game plan goes,
we have cleaned up our existing topology,
and that puts us into perfect striking position
for implementing our new topology,
and once again, we'll be doing that by logging directly into the global manager
,
and when needed,
we can pop out to each of the local managers,
but most of the configuration we can do
directly here at the global manager,
and we'll begin the configuration of our new topology
in the very next video.
So I'll see you there in just a moment.
