An administrator is asked to create a second provider gateway (provider gateway 02) in VMware...

In VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0, aProvider Gatewayin VCF Automation is always backed by anexisting Tier-0 or Tier-0 VRF gatewayin NSX. When the administrator launches theCreate Provider Gatewayworkflow 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 thatbefore adding a Provider Gateway, an administratormust 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 Automationare discovered from these preexisting Tier-0 gatewaysand cannot be created until they exist.

Creating a Tier-1 gateway (Option B) does not satisfy the requirement because Provider Gateways must map specifically toTier-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 tolog in to NSX Manager and create the required Tier-0 gateway, after which it will appear in the Provider Gateway creation workflow.
