Reconfigure VM - CPU, Memory, Disk etc.

Any standalone WF stubs available for VM reconfiguration, please do let me know.

Trying to develop an Interface which will call a workflow with reconfigureSpec and the VM should update the virtual hardware.

thanks in anticipation.

The integrated workflow in vCAC (5.2) for VM reconfiguration is not directly callable as a regular VM stage/WFStub. In addition, this workflow automatically initiates a restart, which is not always desired (or needed when you use options such as HotAdd). You write you will create an interface for calling a workflow. In this case it might make sense to create a vCO or PowerShell / PowerCLI worklow that you use to reconfigure the machine (which would be fairly easy). As VM configurations get updated in the vCAC automatically this would be a safe way to do as after data collection the new hardware settings would be visible in vCAC anyway.
