priority
Optional

MovePriority is an enumeration of values that indicate the priority of the task that moves a virtual machine from one host to another or one storage location to another.

Note this priority can affect both the source and target hosts.

Possible values:

  • lowPriority: The task of moving this virtual machine is low priority.
  • highPriority: The task of moving this virtual machine is high priority.
  • defaultPriority: The task of moving this virtual machine is the default priority.
Possible values are : lowPriority, highPriority, defaultPriority,
vm
Optional

Reference to an instance of the VirtualMachine managed object.

configSpec
Optional

This data object type encapsulates configuration settings when creating or reconfiguring a virtual machine.

To support incremental changes, these properties are all optional. If an optional property is unset, or any nested optional property is unset, the property will not be changed unless 'unset' is a valid value for the property. To determine whether 'unset' is a valid value for a particular property, refer to the documentation for that property.

relocateSpec
Optional

Specification for moving or copying a virtual machine to a different datastore or host.

hosts
Optional

A list of compatible hosts for the virtual machine.

This list is ignored if relocateSpec.host is set. For both intra-vCenter and cross-vCenter migrations, this list is required if relocateSpec.host is unset. If neither relocateSpec.host nor a list of compatible hosts are specified, all hosts in the cluster will be considered, in which case, the selected hosts in the PlacementResult are not guaranteed to be compatible with the incoming virtual machine.

datastores
Optional

A list of compatible datastores for the virtual machine.

This list is ignored if relocateSpec.datastore is set. For both intra-vCenter and cross-vCenter migrations, this list is required if relocateSpec.datastore is unset. If neither relocateSpec.datastore nor a list of compatible datastores are specified, all datastores connected to hosts in the cluster will be considered, in which case, the selected datastores in the PlacementResult are not guaranteed to be compatible with the incoming virtual machine.

storagePods
Optional

A list of compatible datastore clusters for the virtual machine.

This list is ignored if relocateSpec.datastore is set. For both intra-vCenter and cross-vCenter migrations, this list can be empty, in which case, the user should set either RelocateSpec.datastore or PlacementSpec.datastores as the target datastore or the list of compatible datastores.

boolean
disallowPrerequisiteMoves
Optional

Specification for whether to disable pre-requisite vmotions or storage vmotions for virtual machine placement.

The default value is true, that is, to disallow such prerequisite moves.

rules
Optional

A list of rules to respect while placing the virtual machine on target cluster.

If the list is empty, rules will not be considered during placement, in case of cross-cluster placement within a VC and cross VC placement across VCs.

string
key
Optional

Client generated identifier as a reference to the placement request

string
placementType
Optional

Type of the placement.

The set of possible values are described in PlacementSpecPlacementTypeEnum

cloneSpec
Optional

Specification for a virtual machine cloning operation.

string
cloneName
Optional

Name for the cloned virtual machine, if the operation type is a clone
