string
name
Required
The name of the cloned virtual machine.
location
Required
A type of VirtualMachineRelocateSpec that specifies the location of resources the newly created virtual machine will use.
The location might be empty or specify:
- The folder where the virtual machine should be located. If not specified, the root VM folder of the source VM will be used.
- A datastore where the InstantCloned virtual machine will be located on the physical storage.
- A resource pool determines where compute resources will be available to the clone.
- A device change specification. The only allowed device changes are edits of VirtualEthernetCard and filebacked Serial/Parallel ports.
All other settings are NOT supported.
array of
OptionValue
config
Optional
A list of key value pairs that will be passed to the destination VM.
These pairs should be used to provide user-defined customization to differentiate the destination VM from the source VM. Values will be queryable via destination VM's extraConfig.
string
biosUuid
Optional
128-bit SMBIOS UUID of a virtual machine represented as a hexadecimal string in "12345678-abcd-1234-cdef-123456789abc" format.
