MoRefResourcePool

pool

Optional

Reference to an instance of the ResourcePool managed object.

MoRefHostSystem

host

Optional

Reference to an instance of the HostSystem managed object.

VirtualMachineMovePriority_enum

priority

Required

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,

VirtualMachinePowerState_enum

state

Optional

The PowerState type defines a simple set of states for a virtual machine: poweredOn, poweredOff, and suspended.

This type does not model substates, such as when a task is running to change the virtual machine state. If the virtual machine is in a state with a task in progress, it transitions to a new state when the task completes. For example, a virtual machine continues to be in the poweredOn state while a suspend task is running, and changes to the suspended state once the task finishes.

As a consequence of this approach, clients interested in monitoring the status of a virtual machine should typically track the activeTask data object in addition to the powerState object.

Possible values:

• poweredOff: The virtual machine is currently powered off.
• poweredOn: The virtual machine is currently powered on.
• suspended: The virtual machine is currently suspended.

Possible values are : poweredOff, poweredOn, suspended,
