## Data Object Description

The ConfigTarget class contains information about "physical" devices that can be used to back virtual devices.

Properties

availablePersistentMemoryReservationMB* | xsd:long | Maximum available persistent memory reservation on a compute resource in MB. Since vSphere API 6.7
cdRom* | VirtualMachineCdromInfo[] | List of CD-ROM devices available for use by virtual CD-ROMs. Used for VirtualCdromAtapiBackingInfo.
datastore* | VirtualMachineDatastoreInfo[] | List of datastores available for virtual disks and associated storage.
distributedVirtualPortgroup* | DistributedVirtualPortgroupInfo[] | List of networks available from DistributedVirtualSwitch for virtual network adapters. Since vSphere API 4.0
distributedVirtualSwitch* | DistributedVirtualSwitchInfo[] | List of distributed virtual switch available for virtual network adapters. Since vSphere API 4.0
floppy* | VirtualMachineFloppyInfo[] | List of floppy devices available for use by virtual floppies. Used for VirtualFloppyDeviceBackingInfo.
ideDisk* | VirtualMachineIdeDiskDeviceInfo[] | List of physical IDE disks that can be used as targets for raw disk backings.
legacyNetworkInfo* | VirtualMachineLegacyNetworkSwitchInfo[] | Legacy switch names when using the LegacyNetworkBacking types.
maxMemMBOptimalPerf | xsd:int | Maximum recommended memory size, in MB, for creating a new virtual machine.
network* | VirtualMachineNetworkInfo[] | List of networks available for virtual network adapters.
numCpuCores | xsd:int | Number of physical CPU cores that are available to run virtual machines.
numCpus | xsd:int | Number of logical CPUs that can be used to run virtual machines.
numNumaNodes | xsd:int | Number of NUMA nodes.
opaqueNetwork* | OpaqueNetworkTargetInfo[] | List of opaque networks available for virtual network adapters. Since vSphere API 5.5
parallel* | VirtualMachineParallelInfo[] | List of parallel devices available to support virtualization. Used for VirtualParallelPortDeviceBackingInfo.
pciPassthrough* | VirtualMachinePciPassthroughInfo[] | List of generic PCI devices. Since vSphere API 4.0
resourcePool* | ResourcePoolRuntimeInfo | Information about the current available resources on the current resource pool for a virtual machine. This field is only populated from an Environment browser obtained from a virtual machine.
scsiDisk* | VirtualMachineScsiDiskDeviceInfo[] | List of physical SCSI disks that can be used as targets for raw disk mapping backings.
scsiPassthrough* | VirtualMachineScsiPassthroughInfo[] | List of generic SCSI devices.
serial* | VirtualMachineSerialInfo[] | List of serial devices available to support virtualization. Used for VirtualSerialPortDeviceBackingInfo.
sharedGpuPassthroughTypes* | VirtualMachinePciSharedGpuPassthroughInfo[] | List of shared GPU passthrough types. Since vSphere API 6.0
smcPresent | xsd:boolean | Presence of System Management Controller, indicates the host is Apple hardware, and thus capable of running Mac OS guest as VM. Since vSphere API 5.0
sound* | VirtualMachineSoundInfo[] | List of sound devices available to support virtualization. Used for VirtualSoundCardDeviceBackingInfo. Since VI API 2.5
