NSX-T Data Center REST API

Replace the policy edge node at the specified member-index in the edge-cluster

Replace the Policy Edge Node present at the specified member-index in the edge-cluster.
This is a disruptive action. This will move all the Interfaces(uplink and routerLink)
hosted on the old Policy Edge Node to the new Policy Edge Node. The same Policy Edge Node cannot be
present as a member of any edge cluster.
This API is available when using VMware Cloud (AWS, Dell-EMC, Outpost, Hyperscalers) or VMware NSX.

PolicyEdgeCluster (schema)

Name	Description	Type	Notes
_create_time	Timestamp of resource creation	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_create_user	ID of the user who created this resource	string	Readonly
_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_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
_schema	Schema for this resource	string	Readonly
_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
allocation_rules	Allocation rules for auto placement Set of allocation rules to auto-allocate nodes for Tier0/Tier1 Gateways, and DHCP on edge cluster members.	array of AllocationRule
children	Subtree for this type within policy tree Subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements. Note that this type is applicable to be used in Hierarchical API only.	array of ChildPolicyConfigResource (Abstract type: pass one of the following concrete types) ChildPolicyEdgeNode
deployment_type	Edge cluster deployment type This field is a readonly field which shows the deployment_type of members. It returns UNKNOWN if there are no members, and returns VIRTUAL_MACHINE| PHYSICAL_MACHINE if all edge members are VIRTUAL_MACHINE|PHYSICAL_MACHINE.	EdgeDeploymentType	Readonly
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
edge_cluster_profile	Path of edge cluster high availability profile. This field is optional and if not provided, default profile path will be considered.	string
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
inter_site_forwarding_enabled	Inter site forwarding is enabled if true Flag indicates that edge cluster has inter-site forwarding enabled and remote tunnel points is configured for all the members. This is required to deploy stretch gateways.	boolean	Readonly
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 get 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"
member_node_type	Node type of the cluster members This field contains the info of type of transport nodes. Edge cluster is homogenous collection of transport nodes. Hence all transport nodes of the cluster must be of same type.	EdgeClusterNodeType	Readonly
nsx_id	Edge Cluster UUID on NSX-T Enforcement Point This field is deprecated.Refer policy edge cluster unique_id to get the policy edge cluster uuid.	string	Deprecated Readonly
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 NSX+.	string	Readonly
overridden	Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified locally 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"
owner_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for the ownership of an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing who owns this object. This is used in NSX+.	string	Readonly
parent_path	Path of its parent Path of its parent	string	Readonly
password_managed_by_vcf	VCF managed password flag Setting to true enables VCF password management for all edge nodes in the cluster.	boolean	Default: "False"
path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
policy_edge_nodes	Policy Edge Cluster Member This field contains the list of edge cluster members. Using this field, multiple members can be add and remove.	array of PolicyEdgeClusterMember
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 their 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 path is populated only in case of multi-site scenario. Currently it is supported only for LM objects. When LM is onboarded to multi-site platform like NAPP or GM, remote_path will be set to the globally unique path across multi-site topology . It is generated based on local site-name and uses /org tree namespace. Note: It is populated only for LM objects. Not supported on the GM.	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value PolicyEdgeCluster	string
rtep_ips	Remote tunnel endpoint IP addresses. This field is deprecated, Refer the /infra/sites//enforcement-points//edge-transport-nodes//state API for rtep ips.	array of IPAddress	Deprecated Readonly
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 entities 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
