Reset VM MAC Address with VCD API

[derevan007]

Is it possible to achieve the same functionality as the VCD UI where for the properties of a VM, you can go to the MAC Address dropdown and select "Reset". After the VM is updated, it has a new MAC address. I was not able to achieve this from the API using the following edit link.

api/v1.0/vApp/vm-2008703626/networkConnectionSection

and passing <MACAddress>Reset</MACAddress>

What is the UI doing behind the scenes? Can the same be accomplished via API?

Hi,

Try not sending this element at all. This would reset the Mac Address.

<MACAddress>Reset</MACAddress>

Well, that was too easy. I had tried blank, but not removing it altogether! Works like a champ!
