REST API - create_spec

content library subscriptions: create spec placement

The create_spec_placement structure defines the placement information for the subscribed library's virtual machine template library items. Storage location of the virtual machine template items is defined by the subscribed library's storage backing. This placement information needs to be compatible with the subscribed library's storage backing. The create_spec_placement structure is only applicable for the virtual machine template library items of the subscribed library. This structure was added in vSphere API 6.7.2.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
Optional
folder	string	Virtual machine folder into which the virtual machine template should be placed. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.2. Optional. This field is currently required. In future, if this is unset, the system will attempt to choose a suitable folder for the virtual machine template; if a folder cannot be chosen, publishing a virtual machine template item will fail.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: `Folder:VCenter`. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: `Folder:VCenter`.
cluster	string	Cluster onto which the virtual machine template should be placed. If `cluster` and `resource_pool` are both specified, `resource_pool` must belong to `cluster`. If `cluster` and `host` are both specified, `host` must be a member of `cluster`. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.2. Optional. If `resource_pool` or `host` is specified, it is recommended that this field be unset.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: `ClusterComputeResource:VCenter`. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: `ClusterComputeResource:VCenter`.
resource_pool	string	Resource pool into which the virtual machine template should be placed. If `host` and `resource_pool` are both specified, `resource_pool` must belong to `host`. If `cluster` and `resource_pool` are both specified, `resource_pool` must belong to `cluster`. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.2. Optional. This field is currently required. In future, if this is unset, the system will attempt to choose a suitable resource pool for the virtual machine template; if a resource pool cannot be chosen, publish of virtual machine template item will fail.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: `ResourcePool:VCenter`. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: `ResourcePool:VCenter`.
host	string	Host onto which the virtual machine template should be placed. If `host` and `resource_pool` are both specified, `resource_pool` must belong to `host`. If `host` and `cluster` are both specified, `host` must be a member of `cluster`. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.2. Optional. If this is unset, the system will attempt to choose a suitable host for the virtual machine template; if a host cannot be chosen, publishing the virtual machine template item will fail.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: `HostSystem:VCenter`. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: `HostSystem:VCenter`.
network	string	Network that backs the virtual Ethernet adapters in the virtual machine template. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.2. Optional. If unset, the virtual Ethernet adapters will not be backed by a network.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: `Network:VCenter`. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: `Network:VCenter`.
