config
Required

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.

host
Optional

Reference to an instance of the HostSystem managed object.
