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.
This api is now deprecated. Please use new api -
