Environment

SDDC Manager
VMware Cloud Foundation

Resolution

This occurs if the node to be added does not have the VDS specified in the Transport Node Profile (TNP). 

Add the VDS specified in the Transport Node Profile to the target host, confirm that it is prepared on the NSX side, and then retry the host addition task in SDDC Manager.
