Precheck Clusters Enablement Configuration Transition Task
The API computes impact of transitioning the cluster to be managed by desired configuration platform. It also runs health checks to verify the cluster’s health before transitioning. The API returns the impact on the hosts in the cluster and the result of health checks from the cluster and hosts. Health checks are run only if the host needs be rebooted or put in maintenanceMode.
