vCloud director 9.7 API - create new logical VM group

[miskaste]

Hi,

I started to explorer API and did some basic stuff. Now I want to create new VM logical group, but I'm out of understanding.

According VMware documentation syntax should be like this:

/cloudapi/1.0.0/logicalVmGroups

{
  "id": "string",
  "description": "string",
  "name": "string",
  "namedVmGroupReferences": [
   {
   "name": "string",
   "id": "string"
   }
  ]
}

I'm not familiar with VMware API and confused what I should put in ID? Searched API documentation, but can't find answer.

Thanks!

When creating a new vmGroup, you do not have to set an ID.

POST:

{

  "description": "string",

  "name": "TEST",

  "namedVmGroupReferences": []

}

will create an empty vmGoup. In the response you see the new created vmGroup and the generated id
