name
Required
The name of the cloned virtual machine.
location
Required
Specification for moving or copying a virtual machine to a different datastore or host.
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.
