Resolution
- Get list of all "Transport Node Collection(TNC)" object:
GET https://{{MPIP}}/api/v1/transport-node-collections/
- Refer the TNC object where cluster ID matches with the problematic cluster. e.g.
{ "results": [ { "compute_collection_id": "515d02f7-####-####-####-############:domain-c##", -------> Refer "compute_collection_id" "transport_node_profile_id": "da61fd4d-####-####-####-############", "resource_type": "TransportNodeCollection", "id": "5c79f613-####-####-####-############", -------> This is the ID to be used in next API call "display_name": "5c79f613-####-####-####-############", "tags": [], "_system_owned": false, "_create_time": 1723777879972, "_create_user": "admin", "_last_modified_time": 1723777879972, "_last_modified_user": "admin", "_protection": "NOT_PROTECTED", "_revision": 0 } ], "result_count": 1}
- Re-trigger workflow from NSX side:
POST https://{{MPIP}}/api/v1/transport-node-collections/<TNC ID>?action=retry_profile_realization
