Shawn Hartsock 15f7be9a52 pyVmomi reStructured Text Documentation
This external documentation for pyVmomi was generated using Googly Docs
(aka Google Standard Documentation) which renders very cleanly in
GitHub. Internal documentation for a class should be done in Sphinx
format because tools like pyCharm and Eclipse can use that documentation
as a hint for code completion.

Note: External docs as Googly Docs, internal docs as Sphinx.

The Specification data object type contains information required to customize a virtual machine when deploying it or migrating it to a new host.

extends

vmodl.DynamicData

Attributes:

options (vim.vm.customization.Options, optional):

Optional operations (either LinuxOptions or WinOptions).

identity (vim.vm.customization.IdentitySettings):

Network identity and settings, similar to Microsoft's Sysprep tool. This is a Sysprep, LinuxPrep, or SysprepText object.

globalIPSettings (vim.vm.customization.GlobalIPSettings):

Global IP settings constitute the IP settings that are not specific to a particular virtual network adapter.

nicSettingMap (vim.vm.customization.AdapterMapping, optional):

IP settings that are specific to a particular virtual network adapter. The AdapterMapping object maps a network adapter's MAC address to its Adapter settings object. May be empty if there are no network adapters, else should match number of network adapters in the VM.

encryptionKey (int, optional):

Byte array containing the public key used to encrypt any passwords stored in the specification. Both the client and the server can use this to determine if stored passwords can be decrypted by the server or if the passwords need to be re-entered and re-encrypted before the specification can be used.
