[c.v.v.n.c.v.v.NsxTEdgeClusterValidator,dm-exec-7] Exception during cluster resources check for expanding edge cluster > com.vmware.evo.sddc.orchestrator.exceptions.OrchTaskException: example.examplecompany.com > at com.vmware.vcf.common.fsm.plugins.nsxt.action.FetchCvdsUplinksForOverlay.execute(FetchCvdsUplinksForOverlay.java:141)

Environment

SDDC Manager 5.1.1

2. Remove the host-transport-node-profiles ("PolicyHostTransportNodeProfile") from NSX where there is no entry for "host_switch_spec" referencing this document. Transport Node Profiles
