Summary: NSX-T loses synch w/ vCenter inventory, but statuses don't appear to show an issue. Basically, you add a host to a vCenter cluster, NSX-T bits should start to automatically installing on new host. Assuming you've created a Transport Node Profile and associated w/ the cluster. The problem is that NSX-T doesn't see the new host and its link to the compute manager (vCenter) looks fine. Looks fine, Y U NO WORK!? So what's going on here? This appears to affect NSX-T 2.5 and 2.5.1. Cause is unknown. Workaround: Restart the cm-inventory service on each NSX-T mgmt/controller node using API or CLI. Details: If you were to query the status of the cm-inventory via API or CLI, you could query all 3 manager/controller nodes and get a status of running. Even if the primary node associated w/ the VIP, if configured, is not necessarily in charge of inventory. So you could restart the cm-inventory service till you are blue in the face and get nowhere be
