Virtual Machine Get Config

Virtual Machine Get Config

Configuration of this virtual machine, including the name and UUID.

This property is set when a virtual machine is created or when the reconfigVM method is called.

The virtual machine configuration is not guaranteed to be available. For example, the configuration information would be unavailable if the server is unable to access the virtual machine files on disk, and is often also unavailable during the initial phases of virtual machine creation.
