spec
Required
This data object type encapsulates configuration settings when creating or reconfiguring a virtual machine.
To support incremental changes, these properties are all optional. If an optional property is unset, or any nested optional property is unset, the property will not be changed unless 'unset' is a valid value for the property. To determine whether 'unset' is a valid value for a particular property, refer to the documentation for that property.
array of string
testType
Optional
The set of tests to run. If this argument is not set, all tests will be run. See CheckTestTypeEnum for possible values.
Responses
200
OK
Returns MoRefTask of type(s) application/json
This response body class contains all of the following: MoRefExtensibleManagedObject
{
"_typeName": "string",
"type": "string",
"value": "string"
}
500
InvalidArgument: if the desired host and pool are not associated with the same compute resource, the host parameter is left unset when the specified pool is associated with a non-DRS cluster, or if the provided vm does not exist.
DatacenterMismatch: if the provided host and pool do not belong to the same datacenter.
Returns MethodFault of type(s) application/json
This response body class contains all of the following: Any
