5 years ago Hi, I just had this happen to me with UplinkHostSwitchProfile as well, so I tested to check if NiocProfile or LldpHostSwitchProfile would fail, and they did.
Error:

In the GUI of nsx-t 2.4, the NIOC and LLDP profiles are required when adding a n-vds to a transport node profile. The ansible module only allow to pass host_switch_profile by name and the profile types NiocProfile/LldpHostSwitchProfile cannot be found by their name.
