VmTemplate_LibraryItems_CreateSpec
The LibraryItems.CreateSpec structure defines the information required to create a library item containing a virtual machine template.

}Identifier of the source virtual machine to create the library item 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 library item.
Description of the library item. If unset, the newly created library item has the same description as the source virtual machine.
Identifier of the library in which the new library item should be created. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.content.Library. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.content.Library.
The LibraryItems.CreateSpecVmHomeStorage structure defines the storage specification for a virtual machine template's configuration and log files.
The LibraryItems.CreateSpecDiskStorage structure defines the storage specification for a virtual machine template's disks.
Storage specification for individual disks in the virtual machine template. This is specified as a mapping between disk identifiers in the source virtual machine and their respective storage specifications. If both LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage-overrides and LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage are unset, the virtual machine template's disks are placed in the default storage backing associated with the library specified by LibraryItems.CreateSpec.library. If LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage-overrides is unset and LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage is specified, all of the virtual machine template's disks are created with the storage spec specified by LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage.
If LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage-overrides is specified and LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage is unset, disks with identifiers that are not in LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage-overrides are placed in the default storage backing associated with the library specified by LibraryItems.CreateSpec.library.
If both LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage-overrides and LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage are specified, disks with identifiers that are not in LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage-overrides are created with the storage spec specified by LibraryItems.CreateSpec.disk-storage.
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.Disk. 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.Disk.
The LibraryItems.CreatePlacementSpec structure contains information used to place a virtual machine template onto resources within the vCenter inventory.
