Virtual Machine Reset VM Task
Resets power on this virtual machine.
If the current state is poweredOn, then this method first performs powerOff(hard). Once the power state is poweredOff, then this method performs powerOn(option).
Although this method functions as a powerOff followed by a powerOn, the two operations are atomic with respect to other clients, meaning that other power operations cannot be performed until the reset method completes.
Required privileges: VirtualMachine.Interact.Reset
The unique identifier for the managed object to which the method attaches; the serialized managed object reference for a request has the form moType/moId, in this case VirtualMachine/{moId}.
The vSphere release schema. The current specification covers vSphere 8.0.2.0 APIs.
This method returns a Task object with which to monitor the operation.
