Import From Host Clusters Enablement Configuration Transition Task
The API imports the desired configuration from a reference host in the cluster. The API also adds host-specific and host-overrides from the other hosts in the cluster. Import API does not validate the configuration against the schema. The result will specify if the configuration was imported successfully. The result will provide localized error message if the import operation failed. Warning: This operation is available as Technology Preview. These are early access APIs provided to test, automate and provide feedback on the feature. Since this can change based on feedback, VMware does not guarantee backwards compatibility and recommends against using them in production environments. Some Technology Preview APIs might only be applicable to specific environments.
