Create transport node collection by attaching Transport Node Profile to cluster.

When transport node collection is created the hosts which are part
of compute collection will be prepared automatically i.e. NSX Manager
attempts to install the NSX components on hosts. Transport nodes for these
hosts are created using the configuration specified in transport node
profile. Pass apply_profile to false, if you do not want to apply
transport node profile on the existing transport node with
overridden host flag set and ignore overridden hosts flag is set to
true on the transport node profile.
This API is available when using VMware Cloud (AWS, Dell-EMC, Outpost, Hyperscalers) or VMware NSX.

TransportNodeCollectionRequestParameters+

TransportNodeCollectionRequestParameters (schema)

Name	Description	Type	Notes
apply_profile	Indicates if the Transport Node Profile (TNP) configuration should be applied during creation This flag should be used when the configuration specified by the transport_node_profile_id should not be applied to existing hosts referred to by the compute_collection_id during transport node collection creation. If this flag is set to false, the TNP configuration will not be applied to any of the hosts in the cluster during creation. Any transport node that exists in the cluster that has a different configuration than the TNP configuration will have the is_overridden flag set to true. This will result in the transport node collection creation completing with a status of PROFILE_MISMATCH. If this flag is set to true, the default value, the TNP configuration will be applied to all hosts in the cluster during transport node collection creation.	boolean	Default: "True"
override_nsx_ownership	Override NSX Ownership Flag indicating whether the NSX ownership constraints (on Managed Objects like Host/Cluster/DVS) should be overridden/bypassed. Note: Overriding/bypassing NSX ownership constraints is not recommended at all. This indicates, you want to use/configure/own certain Managed Objects (like Cluster, Host or DVS) which seem to be already in use/configured/owned by some other NSX instance. This option should be used with caution. It should only be used to come out of situations where: a. The other NSX instance no longer intends to use the Managed Objects (and has already unconfigured NSX configurations) but the ownership still lies with it (incorrectly) and you want those Managed Objects to be used/configured/owned by this NSX instance. b. The other NSX instance has crashed or decommisioned but the ownership still lies with it and you want those Managed Objects to be used/configured/owned by this NSX instance. Enabling this option, while the Managed Objects affected by this operation are actively used by other NSX, can lead to problematic states on both the NSX instances. For example, if a TN is forcefully reconfigured by this NSX instance (using override_nsx_ownership=true), while it was already configured and in use by the other NSX instance, it could corrupt the HostSwitch configurations pushed down by the other NSX instance.	boolean	Default: "False"

_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int

marked_for_delete	Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the realized entities for that intent object gets deleted, the intent object is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
origin_site_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for knowing which site owns an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing which site owns an object. This is used in Pmaas	string	Readonly
overridden	Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified by the user. However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take precedence over the globally defined values for the properties.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"

path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
realization_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for realizing intent This is a UUID generated by the system for realizing the entity object. In most cases this should be same as 'unique_id' of the entity. However, in some cases this can be different because of entities have migrated thier unique identifier to NSX Policy intent objects later in the timeline and did not use unique_id for realization. Realization id is helpful for users to debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.	string	Readonly
relative_path	Relative path of this object Path relative from its parent	string	Readonly
remote_path	Path of the object on the remote end. This is the path of the object on the local managers when queried on the PMaaS service, and path of the object on PMaaS service when queried from the local managers.	string	Readonly
