    HI,

    I started to implement NSX in my Vcenter enviroment, but got some troubles. I was able to install NSX Manager and 1st Controller without problems, but during second Controller installation I got error "Internal Server error has occured" (attachment error1.png). When i open details i got message "Could not execute JDBC batch update" (error3.png). Moreover I wanted to install NSX on hosts and in some cases it went ok, on other I got error.

    I would like to find a problem with installing 2nd and 3rd Controller and be able to install NSX on all ESX hosts. Could you someone please guide me with this?

    Thanks:

    Michal

    I found the problem. ESXi 5.5 hosts has TCP port 80 disabled and also UDP 12345. Once enabled hosts install NSX plugin and joined the Controller.

    There is still only one thing to fix. Second controller failed during installation, I have deleted the VM, but NSX trying to install it all over again, but it fails because VM is not there any more. Can anyone tell me how to stop the NSX Controller installation and delete it forever?

    You should force removal of the controller via the NSX API, using the following API call (refer to the NSX API Guide for more details if required):

    DELETE https://<nsxmgr-ip>/api/2.0/vdn/controller/<controller-id>?forceRemoval=true

    After which you will be able to continue deploying additional Controller Nodes.
