Specification for creating an Instant Clone of a powered-on virtual machine.
The set of tests to run. If this argument is not set, all tests will be run. See CheckTestTypeEnum for possible values.
OK
{
"_typeName": "string",
"type": "string",
"value": "string"
}
InvalidArgument: in the following cases:
- The destination host does not support Instant Clone.
- The source and destination host are not the same.
- The relocate spec in the Instant Clone spec has Datastore set.
- The relocate spec in the Instant Clone spec has host set.
- The Instant clone spec does not have name set.
- The source VM is a template.
- The source VM is not powered on.
- The source VM has PMEM devices/disks configured.
InvalidState: if the operation cannot be performed because of the virtual machine's current state. For example, if the virtual machine configuration information is not available.
