Update a Host Transport Node Profile

Host transport node profile captures the configuration needed to create
a host transport node. A host transport node profile can be attached to
compute collections for automatic host transport node creation of member hosts.

When configurations of a host transport node profile(TNP) are updated, all the
host transport nodes in all the compute collections to which this TNP is attached
are updated to reflect the updated configuration.

_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_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

description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
host_switch_spec	Host transport node host switch specification The HostSwitchSpec is the base class for standard and preconfigured host switch specifications. Only standard host switches are supported in the transport node profile.	HostSwitchSpec (Abstract type: pass one of the following concrete types) PreconfiguredHostSwitchSpec StandardHostSwitchSpec
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
ignore_overridden_hosts	Determines if cluster-level configuration should be applied on overridden hosts Host Transport Node Profiles specify the configuration that is applied to all hosts in a cluster. The user has the ability to update the configuration on individual hosts within a cluster which will cause the host configuration to differ from the Host Transport Node Profile and results in the host to be marked as overridden. If a Host Transport Node Profile is edited or a new Host Transport Node Profile is applied on a Host Transport Node Collection, by default, the host configuration will be overwritten with the Host Transport Node Profile configuration and the overridden flag will be reset to false. This flag should be used when hosts that are set as overridden should not adopt the Host Transport Node Profile configuration when it is being updated or a new one is applied to the Host Transport Node Collection. In other words, when this flag is set to the default value of false and configuration is applied at the cluster level, the configuration will be applied on all hosts regardless if overridden or not. When this flag is set to true, all hosts that are set as overridden, i.e., have been updated invidivually, will be ignored and the cluster-level configuration will not be applied. Note, Host Transport Node Profiles can be applied on multiple clusters. This field will dictate the behavior followed by all clusters using this Host Transport Node Profile.	boolean	Default: "False"
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"
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"
parent_path	Path of its parent Path of its parent	string	Readonly
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
resource_type	Must be set to the value PolicyHostTransportNodeProfile	string
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entites in a federated environment. For entities that are stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used on all the stretched sites.	string	Readonly
