vCD and PowerCLI - get/set VM Mem reservation?

[acederlund]

Hi,

I've been trying to find out where I can read (and hopefully, set) the VM Mem reservation properties for a VM.

It's possible to set via the GUI, but I've yet to find any good PowerCLI magic to do this with.

Any suggestions?

I have been using this in a VM build script with $MEM being the gigabytes of RAM assigned to the VM.  I use this line to reserve the RAM

Get-VM $VMName | Get-VMResourceConfiguration |  Set-VMResourceConfiguration -MemReservationGB $MEM -Confirm:$false

It does not check the box in the GUI but it does reserve the RAM.

Nothing you can do with PowerCLI, but you can use an API call to do it. 

The call in question is this one https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/db6ed1d8-9da5-4816-b32d-a76dca3ca526/fe12afd3-9b58-4877-a389-fb80f346c860/doc/doc/operations/POST-ReconfigureVm.html .
