NSX-T Data Center REST API

Reallocate edge cluster and members of given DHCP profile. (Deprecated)

As changing edge-cluster-id of a DhcpProfile by a PUT is disallowed,
this re-allocate API is used to modify the edge-cluster-id and members
of a given DhcpProfile.

Only the edge-cluster-id and the edge-cluster-member-indexes fields will
be picked up by this re-allication API. The othere fields in the payload
will be ignored.

If the edge-cluster-id in the payload DhcpProfile is different from the
current edge-cluster-id of the profile, the referencing DHCP server(s) will
be re-allocated to the new edge cluster. If the edge-cluster-id is not
changed, the referencing DHCP server(s) will be re-allocated to the
given edge members in the edge cluster. In this case, this REST API will
act same as that of updating a DhcpProfile.

If the edge cluster member indexes are provided, they should exist in the
given edge cluster. If the indexes are not specified in the DhcpProfile,
edge members will be auto-allocated from the given edge cluster.

Please note that re-allocating edge-cluster will cause lose of all exisitng
DHCP lease information. This API is used only when loosing DHCP leases is
not a real problem, e.g. cross-site migration or failover and all client
hosts will be reboot and get new IP addresses.

_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

edge_cluster_id	Edge cluster uuid Edge cluster uuid on which the referencing logical DHCP server runs.	string	Required
edge_cluster_member_indexes	Edge node indexes The Edge nodes on which the DHCP servers run. If none is provided, the NSX will auto-select two edge-nodes from the given edge cluster. If only one edge node is provided, the DHCP servers will run without HA support.	array of integer	Minimum items: 0 Maximum items: 2
enable_standby_relocation	Flag to enable standby DHCP server relocation Flag to enable the auto-relocation of standby DHCP Service in case of edge node failure. Only tier 1 and auto placed DHCP servers are considered for the relocation.	boolean	Default: "False"
