An administrator is asked to create a second provider gateway (provider gateway 02) in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Automation Region-A.
After launching the Create Provider Gateway workflow in the VCF Automation Provider Management Portal, no Tier-0 Gateway is available for assignment.
How would you resolve this issue?
In VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0, a Provider Gateway in VCF Automation is always backed by an existing Tier-0 or Tier-0 VRF gateway in NSX. When the administrator launches the Create Provider Gateway workflow and no Tier-0 gateways appear for assignment, this indicates that VCF Automation cannot discover any valid Tier-0 gateways in the associated region.
The VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 documentation explicitly states that before adding a Provider Gateway, an administrator must first create an Active-Standby Tier-0 Gateway in NSX Manager. The Provider Gateway workflow only lists Tier-0 gateways that already exist and are properly configured in NSX. If none are present, the list will be empty.
From the documentation: ''To add a provider gateway, first you must create an Active Standby tier-0 gateway in the NSX Manager associated with the region to back it.'' . Provider gateways in VCF Automation are discovered from these preexisting Tier-0 gateways and cannot be created until they exist.
Creating a Tier-1 gateway (Option B) does not satisfy the requirement because Provider Gateways must map specifically to Tier-0, not Tier-1. Retrying the workflow (Option D) will not resolve the issue because the Tier-0 backing resource is missing. Creating a new region (Option A) is unnecessary unless required for other organizational reasons, and it still would not produce a Tier-0 gateway.
Therefore, the correct and verified solution is to log in to NSX Manager and create the required Tier-0 gateway, after which it will appear in the Provider Gateway creation workflow.
