     Troubleshooting: Auto SNAT and External IP Block Errors

     If you receive the error "Auto SNAT must be enabled for VPC Connectivity Profile Default" or "External IP Block should not be empty for profile default", refer back to the "CTGW + Edge + T0" Requirements page and ensure Default Outbound NAT is enabled and External Connection is configured in the Connectivity Profile.

Finish Supervisor Creation for future Kubernetes Clusters

Create a Content Library for future Kubernetes Clusters

If you plan to deploy Kubernetes Clusters, create a Content Library with VKS images.
Navigate to vCenter > Content Libraries > and click Create.

1. Name and Location
   Give it a Name and select the vCenter hosting that Content Library, and click Next.
   

2. Configure Content Library

   > Note: This example uses a Subscribed content library pointing to the public repository https://wp-content.vmware.com/v2/latest/lib.json, with the option to "download content when needed" to save local storage space.

   

3. Apply Security Policy
   Apply a security policy if required by your organization, and click Next.
   (This example uses no security policy).
   

4. Add Storage
   Select a storage to host the content library images, and click Next.
   

5. Ready to complete
   Review the content library, and click Finish.
   

Associate the Content Library to the Supervisor
