Customization of Virtual Machine at time of creation(cloning) using VSphere SDK 6.0 Java application.

[VMVCenter]

Hi, I'm working on Virtual Machine provisioning using VSphere SDK 6.0. I have succeeded in provisioning the virtual machine from template using the following method

ManagedObjectReference cloneTask = vimPort.cloneVMTask(vmRef, vmFolderRef, cloneName, cloneSpec);

I have also got the customization of Memory, CPU with the following method.

VirtualMachineConfigSpec configSpec = new VirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  configSpec.setMemoryMB(512l);
  configSpec.setNumCPUs(2);

I want to know more customization using the SDK like HarkDisk, N/W Adapter, Networking details etc. Help me to get some java code samples with the customization of the virtual machine or get me some links mentioning about the same. Any help would be grateful.

Thanks
