TheGlobal Inventory List (GIL)is only available whenmulti-vCenter SSO domain linkingis configured. In VMware Cloud Foundation, themanagement domain vCenteris deployed first and becomes theroot vCenterfor global inventory data. For workload domains, their vCenter Servers must beregistered into the same SSO domainandlinkedwith the management-domain vCenter in order for the global inventory data (VMs, hosts, clusters, content libraries) to appear.

If a workload domain vCenter is not SSO-linked, it operates in its own identity domain, and thereforecannot access or present Global Inventory, resulting in exactly the symptom described: the management domain vCenter shows the GIL, while the workload domain vCenter does not.

Option B (Supervisor Management) relates to vSphere with Tanzu and has no impact on Global Inventory.

Option C (inventory sync) is incorrect—there is no manual sync required; GIL relies entirely on SSO linking.

Option D (VIDB) is not related to vCenter linking or inventory visibility; it is used by VCF Identity Broker.

Therefore, the reason the Global Inventory is missing from the workload domain vCenter is thatSSO/vCenter Linking has not been configured, which is required for federation across all VCF vCenters.

The status"Node Not Ready"in the NSX Manager UI (specifically in theConfiguration Statecolumn of the Edge Transport Nodes view) indicates that the NSX Manager has failed to push or validate the necessary configuration to the Edge VM.

Check Uplink Network Configuration (Option C):This is the most common cause for a "Node Not Ready" state during deployment or operation. For an Edge Node to be "Ready" (Success/Up), it must have a validTransport Nodeconfiguration, which includes theUplink Profile,IP Pool(for TEPs), and mapping to theFastpath Interfaces(N-VDS). If the uplink configuration is missing, incorrect, or the management plane cannot communicate with the edge to apply it, the node remains in a "Not Ready" state.

Why not Option A?While an Edge must be in anEdge Clusterto beutilizedby a Tier-0 Gateway, a standalone Edge Node should still report a status of "Success" (Configuration) and "Up" (Node Status) if it is healthy. Adding a "Not Ready" (unhealthy/unconfigured) node to a cluster will not fix the underlying configuration issue.

Why not Option D?Missing CPU reservations typically lead to a"Degraded"status or service crashes (Dataplane down), but "Node Not Ready" is the specific indicator of an incomplete or stalled configuration workflow, usually tied to the transport/uplink setup.

When deploying a new workload domain in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), only ESXi hosts that fully meetall pre-requisitesare displayed in the VCF Operations UI for selection. Although all six hosts appear in theUnassigned Host Inventoryin vCenter, VCF performs additional validation before making them selectable for workload domain deployment.

One of the mandatory requirements for any vSAN-enabled workload domain is that the ESXi hosts must be associated with aNetwork Pool configured for vSAN traffic. A network pool defines the host network configuration (VLANs, MTU, NIC mapping) used during domain deployment.

If the two missing hosts are associated with a network pool thatdoes not have vSAN traffic enabled, or are associated withno network pool at all, VCF willexcludethem from the workload domain deployment wizard. This is documented behavior: VCF filters out hosts when required network intents—such as vSAN—are not present.

Other options are incorrect:

A. Management port group enabled for vSAN traffic— vSAN shouldneverrun on the management PG.

B. FTT setting— Has no effect on host visibility; applies only after deployment.

C. Disk partitions— Affects vSAN disk claim but doesnotprevent host selection in VCF.

In VCF 9.0, when adding a host to a vSAN ESA-enabled cluster, the hostmust be commissioned with a network pool that includes a vSAN network configuration. Network pools define host-level networking templates for VCF, including management, vSAN, vMotion, and overlay networks. A host commissioned with avMotion-only network pooldoes not have the required vSAN ESA network interfaces (vmk + NIC mapping) to join an ESA cluster.

Because the administrator successfully commissioned the new host but only using avMotion-only network pool, VCF correctly prevents the host from being added to the ESA cluster.

The required action is:

Reassociate the host with the correct network pool that includes the vSAN ESA network.

Option A (reinstall ESXi) is unnecessary; commissioning workflows can be redone.

Option C (manual vCenter configuration) is explicitly unsupported—VCF manages host networking.

Option D (reconfiguring the existing pool) is not correct because the new host must be associated with thesame network pool used by the existing ESA cluster, not change the pool definition itself.

Therefore, the precise and VMware-documented resolution isB.
