Its very easy to deploy NSX-T 3.0 via OVA.
After deployment need to wait for approx. 30-90 Mins.
And after that open browser and type the NSX-T FQDN with https://

But i was getting below error so to check if all the services are running of not you have to login into NSX-T via ssh.

First login via VMware console and enable ssh services by running below command.
start service ssh
post that open putty and open ssh session.
In my case cluster-manager service was not running so i started manually by using below command.
start service cluster_manager
start service manager
but it’s not working so i have to redeploy the new appliance and it worked.
Login by using username which you provided while ova deploying. Accept EULA.

First Thing we have to do is deploy NSX Management node.

Click on Deploy nodes.

it will tell us that we have to add Compute managers (vCenter Server).

Fill the details of your vCenter server and click Add.

Post that click on add thumbprint

and it will show you if the connection is successful or not.

Go back to Appliances to finish the installation.

Provide all the details to deploy NSX Appliance as per recommendation.

Keep the appliance size same which you deployed initially.
