VCF Brownfield onboarding - Nsx deploy

Asking the brains trust for help before I raise an SR.

Vcf 5.2.3.0 is target. Version

I'm building an FC San backed management cluster, 3x hosts no vsan so have to use brownfield. The first onboarding worked but the nsx deploy failed as the script was looking for a bundle that didn't exist for nsx that didn't match what was needed ( download site had 4230 and 424 but it wanted 4233)

As the cluster now exists i have to use the nsxdeploy instead, and that's failing with a file not found error.

I've debugged the scripts and its never getting past the vcenter connection for the bound vcenter against the management cluster on the sddc.

It's there a way to "unbind" the vsphere from the sddc so I could repeat the onboarding now that I have the right parameters?

I'm not sure if the esxi hosts are touched but I took a snapshot of vcenter prior to the onboarding. So I was thinking to revert that, then restart the onboarding once, clean, using the right nsx bundle.

Would value the brains trust thoughts on above?

Ideas and advice on retaining wall

I have a failing 2 tier retaining wall,2m at its highest.

​

The upper half is engineered and supporting a council easement. Can't go back to the property line.

​

I was thinking of putting a single crib wall, removing all the plants and getting more yard and fixing the drainage issue that the genius before me introduced by concreting right up to the current, lignified and rotted supports of lower retaining.

​

Would I have a better option than a crib wall?

​

Aesthetically i feel like a bigger yard would outweigh losing the plants. Would value some thoughts.

​

Also any ballpark on costs to take out the current retaining and build a new crib wall and brisbane? I'm hoping <30K

Dsm 9.x and vcf 5.x

Compatibility and doco are clear that this is supported. However there is a new vcf9 add on sku to license dsm, so how does that work in vcf 5.2?
