On the PowerCLI side, I can execute:

set-template -template <name> -tovm

...which will convert a template to a VM.

On the Perl SDK side, I found the MarkAsVirtualMachine call which appears to do something similar.

However, on the Perl SDK side the above call requires a ResourcePool be passed whereas the PowerCLI command does not require a ResourcePool.

In our environment we are not using defined ResourcePools - we do have ClusterComputeResources, but that does not help me.

Can anyone offer any suggestions to getting something on the Perl SDK side that performs similarly to the set-template on the PowerCLI side?

Thanks,
