Hello, dear community!
We've been trying to add a new VM in a vAPP with custom hardware (CPU and RAM) properties. It is not clear from API, but as I see there is no way to create a completely new VM with REST API. In continue we tried to modify HarwareSection of existed template but it also doesn't work. The request is validated and status 202 Created returned, but VM is created with template defaults hardware params values.
Is there any way to modify CPU/RAM/HDD properties during RecomposeVapp operation?
Example of the request is below. Thanks for help!
