Description:
Symptoms
Editing and saving a virtual service of an existing Load Balancing section of an Edge Gateway fails with the following error: Cannot change immutable field: tier1_lr On /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/logs/vcloud-container-debug.log you have entry similar the one reported below: com.vmware.vcloud.common.network.NsxAlbApiException: Cannot change immutable field: tier1_lr at com.vmware.vcloud.fabric.net.nsxalb.NsxAlbRestTemplateErrorHandler.handleError(NsxAlbRestTemplateErrorHandler.java:45) The error is not seen for new virtual services.
Cause
This issue occurs due to a change introduced in the 10.5.1 release of Cloud Director. The format of tier1_lr has been changed from UUID to /infra/tier-1s/UUID.Any pool created before the change will have just the UUID in the tier1_lr field.Updating any property in the pool, sets the tier1_lr using the newer format causing it to fail in NSX-ALB.
Impact / Risks
Users are unable to update any existing load balancer pool created before Cloud Director version 10.5.1.
Resolution
The issue has been resolved in Cloud Director 10.5.1.1 available at VMware Downloads .
Workaround
If you are unable to upgrade to 10.5.1.1, the only workaround is to recreate the affected entities.
