Update a Transport Node

Modifies the transport node information. The host_switch_name field
must match the host_switch_name value specified in the transport zone
(API: transport-zones). You must create the associated uplink profile
(API: host-switch-profiles) before you can specify an uplink_name here.
If the host is an ESX and has only one physical NIC being used by a vSphere
standard switch, TransportNodeUpdateParameters should be used to migrate
the management interface and the physical NIC into a logical switch that
is in a transport zone this transport node will join or has already joined.
If the migration is already done, TransportNodeUpdateParameters can also be
used to migrate the management interface and the physical NIC back to a
vSphere standard switch.
In other cases, the TransportNodeUpdateParameters should NOT be used.
When updating transport node you should follow pattern where you should
fetch the existing transport node and then only modify the required
properties keeping other properties as is.

It also modifies attributes of node (host or edge).

Note: Previous versions of NSX-T also used a property named
transport_zone_endpoints at TransportNode level. This property is
deprecated which creates some combinations of new client along with
old client payloads. Examples [1] shows old/existing client
request and response by populating transport_zone_endpoints property
at TransportNode level. Example [2] shows TransportNode updating
TransportNode from exmaple [1] request/response by adding a
new StandardHostSwitch by populating transport_zone_endpoints at
StandardHostSwitch level. TransportNode level transport_zone_endpoints
will ONLY have TransportZoneEndpoints that were originally specified
here during create/update operation and does not include
TransportZoneEndpoints that were directly specified at
StandardHostSwitch level.

If api response is 200 OK, user will have to wait for
config to get realised, and realisation of the intent can be tracked
using /api/v1/transport-nodes//state API.

Name	Description	Type	Notes
esx_mgmt_if_migration_dest	The network ids to which the ESX vmk interfaces will be migrated A comma separated list of network ids. When migrating vmks into logical switches, the ids are the logical switches's ids. When migrating out of logical switches, the ids are vSphere Standard Switch portgroup names in a single vSphere Standard Switch, or distributed virtual portgroup names in a single distributed virtual switch (DVS). This property can only used together with 'if_id'.	string
if_id	The ESX vmk interfaces to migrate A comma separated list of vmk interfaces (for example, vmk0,vmk1). This property can only used along with 'esx_mgmt_if_migration_dest'. If all vmk interfaces will be migrated into the same logical switch or DV portgroup, the 'esx_mgmt_if_migration_dest' can be just one logical switch id or DV portgroup name. Otherwise the number of vmks in this list must equal the number of ids in 'esx_mgmt_if_migration_dest' list, and the orders of the two lists are important because the vmks match the network ids one by one in the same order.	string
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"
ping_ip	IP Addresses to ping right after ESX vmk interfaces were migrated. A comma separated list of IP addresses that match the vmk interfaces given in property 'if_id" or 'vnic' one-by-one in the same order. '0.0.0.0' is a special IP that indicates the pre-migration gateway of the vmk will be pinged post-migration. If a VMK does not need the ping ip or a VM NIC is given inside 'vnic', the ping ip must be skipped but the comma has to stay. For example, '0.0.0.0,,10.1.1.1' indicates the vmk or VM NIC at the 2nd position does not need ping post-migration. Right after all ESX vmk interfaces are migrated, ping packets will be sent through each vmk to its given ping_ip to check if the migraton will break the network connectivity or not. If any vmk_ping fails, the whole migration of all vmks will be rolled back and transport-node will be in failed state.	string
skip_validation	Whether to skip front-end validation for vmk/vnic/pnic migration If this property is set true, all front-end validation for vmk, vnic, and/or pnic migration will be skipped. This is useful when the remote host becomes unreachable as a result of a migration; in which case the front-end validation will always fail because data from the remote host is no longer available. Skipping the validation will allow user to undo the migration by updating the transport node first and then restoring the host network connectivity.	boolean	Default: "False"
vnic	The ESX vmk interfaces and/or VM NIC to migrate A comma separated list of vmk interfaces and/or one VM NIC. Only one VM NIC is allowed in the list; the format must be vmInstanceUuid:DeviceId like '50ca5f2d-1fa2-432d-991e-f01e0e16d182:4000'. An example list is 'vmk0,vmk1,50ca5f2d-1fa2-432d-991e-f01e0e16d182:4000'. The property can only be used along with 'vnic_migration_dest'.	string
vnic_migration_dest	The migration destinations of ESX vmk interfaces and/or VM NIC A comma separated list of vif ids, or port group names. When migrating into logical switches, the ids are vif ids in the logical ports created in the logical switches. When migrating out of logical switches, the ids are vSphere Standard Switch portgroup names in a single vSphere Standard Switch, or distributed virtual portgroup names in a single distributed virtual switch (DVS). The property can only be used in combination with property 'vnic'. The number of vnic interfaces in 'vnic' must equal the number of vif ids or port-group names in this list. The items in the two lists match by the the order.	string
