Batch Update Expected Machines

Update multiple Expected Machines in a single request. All machines must belong to the same site.

All items in a batch update must provide the same set of fields, except that bmcIpAddress may be omitted or set to null to preserve that machine's current BMC IP address.

Org must have an Infrastructure Provider entity. User must have authorization role with PROVIDER_ADMIN suffix.

Infrastructure Provider must own the Expected Machines.

Alternatively, Tenant Admins with TargetedInstanceCreation capability can also update Expected Machines if they have an account with the Site's Infrastructure Provider.

Maximum batch size: 100 Expected Machines per request.
