Data Object Description

Deprecated. As of vSphere API 5.1.

Maps source child entities to destination resource pools and resource settings. If a mapping is not specified, a child is copied as a direct child of the parent.

Properties

Name Type Description
datastore* PManagedObjectReference
to a Datastore

A client can optionally specify a datastore location in the resource map to override the default datastore passed into CreateImportSpec field. This enables importing to different compute resources that do not have shared datastores.
parent*ManagedObjectReference
to a ResourcePool

The parent resource pool to use for the entity. This must specify a resource pool that is not part of the vApp. If this is specified, a linked child (as opposed to a direct child) is created for the vApp.
resourceSpec*ResourceConfigSpec

An optional resource configuration for the created entity. If not specified, the resource configuration given in the OVF descriptor is used.
sourcexsd:string

Identifies a source VirtualSystem or VirtualSystemCollection in an OVF descriptor. The source cannot be the root VirtualSystem or VirtualSystemCollection of the OVF. This is a path created by concatenating the OVF ids for each entity, e.g., "vm1", "WebTier/vm2", etc.
