Only applies to stateless hosts. In this scenario, the transport node profile is not applied to the stateless cluster, which means that NSX is not installed and configured on the target host.

Procedure

  • ♦ Reboot hosts.
    The target host starts with the ESXi image. After starting, the target host remains in maintenance mode until the TNP profile is applied to the target host and NSX installation is complete. Profiles are applied on hosts in the following order:
    Profiles are applied on hosts in the following order.
    • Image profile is applied to the host.
    • Host profile configuration is applied to the host.
    • NSX configuration is applied to the host.
    ESXi VIBs are applied to all the rebooted hosts. A temporary NSX switch in an ESXi host. When TNP is applied to the hosts, the temporary switch is replaced by the actual NSX switch.

What to do next

Apply TNP to the stateless cluster. See Apply TNP on Stateless Cluster.
