Further details ... here are a few samples of what does not work and errors in ansible: cluster_config_spec.drsVmConfigSpec.info.key = (type=vim.VirtualMachine, value=self.params.get('vm_moid')) ... See more...

Trying to code something based on vmware ansible collection but specifically for a VM (change DRS or other HA settings). Starting point: refer to vmware_cluster_drs module which calls drsConfig and vim.cluster.DrsConfigInfo I am trying to instead use drsVmConfigSpec and dasVmConfigSpec which calls vim.cluster.DasVmConfigSpec / vim.cluster.DrsVmConfigSpec (info). info for both have a key property with type key ManagedObjectReference to a VirtualMachine (type and value). Challenge is how to set the key to a ManagedObjectReference See below for what works in PowerCLI: $spec.dasVmConfigSpec[0].info.key = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference How to do same in python: <varname>.info.key = vmodl.ManagedObjectReference  ? https://developer.vmware.com/apis/1355/vsphere Type - > API reference to Data Object - ClusterConfigSpecEx(vim.cluster.ConfigSpecEx) drsVmConfigSpec* ClusterDrsVmConfigSpec[] Data Object Description: Updates the per-virtual-machine DRS configuration. Sample of what we have tried and no success yet in setting key to be the type of ManagedObjectReference. Also tried as array etc. cluster_config_spec = vim.cluster.ConfigSpecEx() cluster_config_spec.drsVmConfigSpec = vim.cluster.DrsVmConfigSpec() cluster_config_spec.drsVmConfigSpec.info = vim.cluster.DrsConfigInfo() cluster_config_spec.drsVmConfigSpec.info.key = vmodl.ManagedObjectReference cluster_config_spec.drsVmConfigSpec.info.key.type = "VirtualMachine" cluster_config_spec.drsVmConfigSpec.info.key.value = self.params.get('vm_moid') cluster_config_spec.drsVmConfigSpec.info.enabled = self.enable_drs cluster_config_spec.drsVmConfigSpec.info.behavior = self.params.get('drs_default_vm_behavior') PowerCLI equivalent: New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-PowerCLI-Discussions/Setting-VM-overrides-through-PowerCLI/m-p/1863018#M63883 $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx $spec.dasVmConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDasVmConfigSpec[] (1) $spec.dasVmConfigSpec[0] = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDasVmConfigSpec $spec.dasVmConfigSpec[0].operation = "add" $spec.dasVmConfigSpec[0].info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDasVmConfigInfo $spec.dasVmConfigSpec[0].info.key = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference $spec.dasVmConfigSpec[0].info.key.type = "VirtualMachine" $spec.dasVmConfigSpec[0].info.key.value = $vm.ExtensionData.MoRef.Value
