    Description
    String named Specifies a description for the vApp you want to create.
    optional
    RunAsync
    SwitchParameter named Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter run "help About_RunAsync" in the VMware PowerCLI console.
    optional
    RuntimeLease
    TimeSpan named Specifies the maximum running time for the vApp before vCloud Director stops it automatically. To specify that the lease is unlimited, pass $null. When creating a vApp from a vApp template, not specifying this parameter automatically applies the default organization settings. When cloning a vApp, not specifying this parameter automatically applies the source vApp settings.
    optional
    Server
    CIServer[] named Specifies the cloud servers on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is provided or $null value is passed to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-CIServer.
    optional
    StorageLease
    TimeSpan named Specifies the maximum amount of time for the vApp to remain stopped before vCloud Director automatically marks it as expired, or deletes it, depending on the organization policy. To specify that the lease is unlimited, pass $null. When creating a vApp from a vApp template, not specifying this parameter automatically applies the default organization settings. When cloning a vApp, not specifying this parameter automatically applies the source vApp settings.
