Redeploying NSX Edges To a New Cluster After Manager Restoration

That title is a bit of a mouthful, but it’s Friday night and that’s the best I’ve got!

I was recently working through some recovery scenarios for NSX in the lab, as I was interested to understand what the process was for various scenarios such as:

Losing NSX Manager and restoring
Losing NSX Manager, DLR and ESG’s and restoring
Losing the entire cluster (including ESXi hosts) and restoring NSX manager in to a new cluster

The third scenario is reasonably obscure, and I’m not sure if you would follow a different restore process than what I did if this did actually happen. But this is what labs are for, right?
