| required |
|
Decimal[] | named |
|
Specifies the sizes of the virtual hard disk(s) of the new virtual machine. | required |
|
Decimal | named |
|
Specifies the memory size of the new virtual machine. | required |
|
String | named |
|
Specifies the name of the newly created cloud virtual machine. If not specified, the name of the virtual machine template is used. | required |
|
CIVApp | named |
|
Specifies the vApp to which you want to add the cloud virtual machine. | optional |
|
Media | named |
|
Specifies a CD/DVD .ISO image to be mounted in the virtual CD drive of the new virtual machine. | optional |
|
String | named |
|
Specifies the computer name to be applied to the cloud virtual machine with guest customization. | optional |
|
UInt64 | named |
|
Specifies the number of cores for each virtual CPU. | optional |
|
UInt64 | named |
|
Specifies the number of virtual CPUs of the new virtual machine. | optional |

Examples
Example 1
$templateVM = Get-CIVMTemplate -Name "myTemplateVM"
Get-CIVApp "myCIVApp" | New-CIVM -Name "myVM" -VMTemplate $templateVM
Retrieves a virtual machine template named "myTemplateVM", creates a cloud virtual machine named "myVM" from the template, and adds it to a cloud vApp named "myCIVApp".
Example 2
Get-OrgVdc OrgVdcName | New-CIVApp new-civapp-name
Get-CIVApp new-civapp-name | New-CIVM new-civm-name
Creates a virtual machine inside a vApp by specifying name only. Default values will be used for the rest of the parameters.
