After deploying VCF Automation I was able to ping and login to the web console. Then I wasn't able to ping or login, then I was able to. Now I can't ping or login.
Config from VCF Operations > Fleet Management > Lifecycle. Note that all IP addresses are on the same /24 subnet.
Primary VIP: 10.1.95.157
IP Pool: 10.1.95.236,10.1.95.237
Additional VIPs: 10.1.95.234,10.1.95.235
IP addresses of virtual appliance:
10.1.95.236 (IP Pool) and 10.1.95.234 (Additional VIPs)
When VCFA was pingable and web console worked:
PowerShell> tracert vcf-lab02-m01-aria-auto.convergelabs.ca
Tracing route to vcf-lab02-m01-aria-auto.myOrg,myTLD [10.1.95.157]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

2 21 ms <1 ms <1 ms vcf-lab02-m01-aria-auto.myOrg.myTLD [10.1.95.157]
Trace complete.
Then this happened:
ping -t vcf-lab02-m01-aria-auto.myOrg.myTLD

When it didn't work:
PowerShell> tracert vcf-lab02-m01-aria-auto.myOrg.myTLD

Trace complete.
I suspect that 10.50.0.3 is a VRP router. Both IP addresses are pingable. I am able to ssh to the VCFA appliance.
Q1: What is broken and/or how do I fix this? This happened on a previous deployment with exactly the same configuration and after attempting to reboot via VCF Operations the virtual appliance just seemed to die. After 2+ hours VCF Operations wasn't able to see the virtual appliance. I eventually re-deployed and got a repeat of the above symptom.
Q2: What logs on the VCFA appliance should I be looking at?
Q3: Why can't I find the load balancer in NSX Manager or vCenter?
