_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

_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
advanced_configuration		VirtualNetworkApplianceClusterAdvancedConfiguration
appliance_form_factor	The form factor of the virtual network appliance(VNA) in the cluster. In case of an update of the form factor field, new virtual network appliance(VNA) at the cluster level will be deployed with an updated form factor value. Virtual Network Appliance redeploy API https://<nsx-mgr>policy/api/v1/infra/sites/default/enforcement-points/<enforcementpoint-id>/virtual-network-appliance-clusters/<virtual-network-appliance-cluster-id>/virtual-network-appliances/<virtual-network-appliance-id>/action/redeploy is recommended to be used to apply/update the new form factor value in existing virtual network appliance(VNA). Any inconsistency in the form factor of the virtual network appliance(VNA) at the cluster level will be reported through the state API < https://<nsx-mgr>policy/api/v1/infra/sites/default/enforcement-points/<enforcementpoint-id>/virtual-network-appliance-clusters/<virtual-network-appliance-cluster-id>/virtual-network-appliances/<virtual-network-appliance-id>/state	VirtualNetworkApplianceFormFactor	Default: "MEDIUM"
appliance_type	Virtual Network Appliance Type The virtual network appliance type of cluster.	VirtualNetworkApplianceType	Readonly Default: "VirtualNetworkAppliance"
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) ChildBaseNetworkAppliance
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
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
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"
members	Virtual Network Appliance Cluster Member This field contains the virtual network appliance cluster members.	array of VirtualNetworkApplianceClusterMember	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 virtual network appliances in the cluster.	boolean	Default: "True"
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 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 VirtualNetworkApplianceCluster	string
service_type	Virtual Network Appliance Cluster Type If the service type is set to route controller then the virtual network appliance cluster is exclusively for route controller and can't be used to connect VPC workloads. By default, this field value is set to be VPC_SERVICES and it can not be modified after virtual network appliance cluster creation.	VirtualNetworkApplianceClusterType	Default: "VPC_SERVICES"
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
