}The virtual hardware version.
Array of virtual device options valid for this virtual machine configuration.
The list is unordered.
Whether the set of virtual devices can be changed, e.g., can devices be added or removed.
This does not preclude changing devices.
List of acceptable values for the number of CPUs supported by this ConfigOption.
This is usually superceded by the information available in the guest operating system descriptors. The guest operating system descriptor describes a maximum CPU count, but the acceptable values are still constrained to the set specified here. The default value is stored at index 0 in the list.
The IntOption data object type is used to define the minimum, maximum, and default values for an integer option.
The BoolOption data object type describes if an option is supported ("true") and if the option is set to "true" or "false" by default.
Can the number of virtual CPUs be changed
