1. Create a Network Pool

Used to create a Network pool in the system. The added network pool would be used during domain deployments, host commission/expansion flows.
If a network pool which is already added before is added, you will get an error with HTTP status 400.
If a malformed network pool is added (payload for network parameters, name which is already exist), you will get an error.

1.1. Prerequisites API

The following data is required

Name
List of networks associated with network pool in which each network has
- Network type - It can be VSAN, VMOTION or NFS Type.
- VLAN ID - Valid Vlan id range is 0 to 4096.
- MTU - Valid MTU range is 1500 to 9216.
- Subnet - Networks of diferent types (e.g. VSAN/VMOTION/NFS) must not have overlapping subnets
- Subnet mask
- gateway - The gateway defined for the specified subnet
- List of IP address ranges - the start and end IP address of each IP Pool should be part of the subnet

5. Rename a Network Pool

5.1. Prerequisites API

Network pool must exist.

5.2. Steps API

Get the ID of the network pool. Filter the response by the network pool's current name to get the corresponding ID.

Tip : Get the Network Pools

Create a network pool update spec. Create a JSON with the "name" field containing the desired new network pool name.

Tip : NetworkPoolUpdateSpec.

Invoke the network pool rename (update) task using the input spec and network pool ID.

Note : Running the updateNetworkPool API will ensure that the requested new name is valid. The API call will fail if the requested new name is invalid.
