Create/Clone/Deploy VM using a VM template.

[ib321]

Hey Hi,

I am trying to create a VM using a already exiting VM template in my templates folder.
So I was exploring this SDK and I don't seem to find any way to do that easily.

can someone point me in the right direction.
thanks in advance.

also I do have explored DeployVMTemplate class...
it seems to be deploying a VM from a library item containing a VM template.
so I don't think this is a straight forward solution.
and I came across a beautiful explanation to do what I want to do using vCenter client manually:
URL: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-8F7F6533-C7DB-4800-A8D2-DF7016016A80.html

Please help.

Some Additional Information:

• User I am using to deploy/clone the VM does not have permission to create a new content library.
• so whenever I try to do anything related to content library it has authorizatio error one of them is System.Read
• But But My user do have permission to deploy a VM using the VM template I can do it using GUI vcenter manually.
• still there is no other option to clone/deploy VM from a VM template. I think it is a must feature.
• After being tired I tried to just clone the VM out of a VM created from that template.... but someone told that there will be issue when we run multiple of them together on same network due to it's same DNS. I guess I need to set some custom config.
  please help me on how can I achieve this.
• I also tried vijaya repository I made it almost workable but i think it is now to old to work there are so many issue arising I mean there is a option to cloneVM using template.

Thanks for help
