VmTemplateLibraryItemsDeploySpec
The LibraryItems.DeploySpec structure defines the deployment parameters that can be specified for the LibraryItems.deploy operation.
Properties
Information used to place the deployed virtual machine. This field is currently required. In the future, if this field is unset, the system will use the values from the source virtual machine template contained in the library item. If specified, each field will be used for placement. If the fields result in disjoint placement, the operation will fail. If the fields along with the placement values of the source virtual machine template result in disjoint placement, the operation will fail.
Name of the deployed virtual machine.
Storage specification for the deployed virtual machine’s disks. If both LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides and LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage are unset, the deployed virtual machine’s disks are created with the same storage spec as the corresponding disks in the source virtual machine template contained in the library item. If LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides is unset and LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage is specified, all of the deployed virtual machine’s disks are created with the storage spec specified by LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage.
If LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides is specified and LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage is unset, disks with identifiers that are not in LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides are created with the same storage spec as the corresponding disks in the source virtual machine template contained in the library item.
If both LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides and LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage are specified, disks with identifiers that are not in LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides are created with the storage spec specified by LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage.
Storage specification for individual disks in the deployed virtual machine. This is specified as a mapping between disk identifiers in the source virtual machine template contained in the library item and their storage specifications. If both LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides and LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage are unset, the deployed virtual machine’s disks are created with the same storage spec as the corresponding disks in the source virtual machine template contained in the library item. If LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides is unset and LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage is specified, all of the deployed virtual machine’s disks are created with the storage spec specified by LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage.
If LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides is specified and LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage is unset, disks with identifiers that are not in LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides are created with the same storage spec as the corresponding disks in the source virtual machine template contained in the library item.
If both LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides and LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage are specified, disks with identifiers that are not in LibraryItems.DeploySpec.disk-storage-overrides are created with the storage spec specified by LibraryItems.DeploySpec.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.
Guest customization spec to apply to the deployed virtual machine. If unset, the guest operating system is not customized after deployment.
Hardware customization spec which specifies updates to the deployed virtual machine. If unset, the deployed virtual machine has the same hardware configuration as the source virtual machine template contained in the library item.
Description of the deployed virtual machine. If unset, the deployed virtual machine has the same description as the source library item.
Specifies whether the deployed virtual machine should be powered on after deployment. If unset, the virtual machine will not be powered on after deployment.
Storage location for the deployed virtual machine’s configuration and log files. If unset, the deployed virtual machine’s configuration and log files are created with the same storage spec as the source virtual machine template’s configuration and log files.
