A.53 create VmCloneNetworkMapping

Maps the network that should be used by a virtual machine clone customizer.

Syntax

create VmCloneNetworkMapping network=value vnic=value name=value [ description=value ] on vmCloneCustomizer instance

Where instance is:

{ id=value | name=value }

Description

Creates a new network mapping for use by a virtual machine clone customizer. To create a clone network mapping, a virtual machine with an assigned VNIC must already exist within your environment.

Options

The following table shows the available options for this command.

Option	Description
`network=value`	The name or ID value of an existing network to which the cloned virtual machine should be connected.
`vnic=value`	The name or ID value of an existing VNIC that is attached to the existing virtual machine that is this clone customizer's parent.
`name=value`	A name to identify the clone network mapping. Tip To find this name after the network is mapped to a virtual machine clone customizer, use the list vmCloneNetworkMapping command. You need the name or ID of this to delete a network mapping from a virtual machine with the delete vmCloneNetworkMapping command.
`description=value`	Optional description for the clone network mapping object. `value` is a maximum of 4,000 characters.
{ `id=value` \| `name=value` }	The instance of the object using either the `id` or `name` option, for example `name=MyVMCloneCustomizer`.

Note

Any create command only creates a single instance of an object, and therefore only accepts a single object instance as an attribute. Providing more than one object of the same attribute type as a parameter always results in the last attribute value taking precedence.
