Validate Config Clusters Enablement Configuration Transition Task
The API validates the imported desired configuration against the schema and on the hosts with validation plugins. If the document is valid, the API will check all the hosts for compliance with the desired configuration. The API returns validation errors if the configuration is not valid on any of the host. If the configuration is valid, the API returns compliance information. 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.
