vcenter vm hardware: update spec

The update_spec structure describes the updates to virtual hardware settings of a virtual machine.

Representations:

{
    "upgrade_policy": "NEVER",
    "upgrade_version": "VMX_03"
}
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<ns0:UpdateSpec xmlns:ns0="http://vmware.com/vcenter/vm/hardware" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <upgrade_version>VMX_03</upgrade_version>
  <upgrade_policy>NEVER</upgrade_policy>
</ns0:UpdateSpec>

Attributes:

Name Type Description
Optional
upgrade_policy string Scheduled upgrade policy.

If set to NEVER, the vcenter.vm.hardware.info.upgrade_version field will be reset to unset.

Optional. If unset, the value is unchanged.
upgrade_version string Target hardware version to be used on the next scheduled virtual hardware upgrade.

If specified, this field must represent a newer virtual hardware version than the current virtual hardware version reported in vcenter.vm.hardware.info.version.

Optional. It is only relevant when upgrade_policy has value [AFTER_CLEAN_SHUTDOWN, ALWAYS]. If vcenter.vm.hardware.update_spec.upgrade_policy is set to NEVER, this field must be unset. Otherwise, if this field is unset, default to the most recent virtual hardware version supported by the server.
