Class VirtualMachineDeviceManager

java.lang.Object
  com.vmware.vim25.mox.VirtualMachineDeviceManager

public class VirtualMachineDeviceManager
extends Object

VirtualMachineDeviceManager manages the virtual devices in a much simplified way than using the reconfigVM_Task() method defined in VirtualMachine managed object. Devices it manages include: FloppyDrive, CdDrive, NetworkAdapter, UsbDevice, HardDisk Operations include: create -- create something new add -- add something existing but not yet attached to the virtual machine remove -- remove the device(s) from the virtual machine get -- retrieve the device(s) from the virtual machine update -- update the existing device with new configuration
