create VM with appropriate drivers using orchestrator for best practice

Hello,

I am beginning to use vro to create VMs automaticaly but orchestrator with the "create custom VM" does not optimize the vm drivers according to th OS installed as vsphere do when creating a VM from the vsphere client. or powershell API

for exemple to choose a paravirtual controler and vmxnet3 network card when installing redHat

does that mean that this is not important?

or do I miss some thing?

thanks

As far as I know and how I've gone about doing is to right logic into the Script action that builds up the ConfigSpec. Use if blocks to check against what OS you are deploying and push the deviceConfigSpec that you want in.

thank's kujeter in fact I decided to  use the configuration elements to predefine the drivers to use by os type

and affect them to the configspec
