}Virtual machine to InstantClone from. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: VirtualMachine. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: VirtualMachine.
Name of the new virtual machine.
The VM.InstantClonePlacementSpec structure contains information used to place an InstantClone of a virtual machine onto resources within the vCenter inventory.
Map of NICs to update. If unset, no NICs will be updated. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the key in the field map must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Ethernet. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the key in the field map will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Ethernet.
Indicates whether all NICs on the destination virtual machine should be disconnected from the newtwork If unset, connection status of all NICs on the destination virtual machine will be the same as on the source virtual machine.
Map of parallel ports to Update. If unset, no parallel ports will be updated. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the key in the field map must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.ParallelPort. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the key in the field map will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.ParallelPort.
Map of serial ports to Update. If unset, no serial ports will be updated. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the key in the field map must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.SerialPort. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the key in the field map will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.SerialPort.
128-bit SMBIOS UUID of a virtual machine represented as a hexadecimal string in "12345678-abcd-1234-cdef-123456789abc" format. If unset, will be generated.
