Chapter 8. Using JSON for complex parameters

JSON is the preferred way to describe complex parameters.

An example of JSON formatted content appears below:

# hammer compute-profile values create --compute-profile-id 22 --compute-resource-id 1 --compute-attributes=
'{
"cpus": 2,
"corespersocket": 2,
"memory_mb": 4096,
"firmware": "efi",
"resource_pool": "Resources",
"cluster": "Example_Cluster",
"guest_id": "rhel8",
"path": "/Datacenters/EXAMPLE/vm/",
"hardware_version": "Default",
"memoryHotAddEnabled": 0,
"cpuHotAddEnabled": 0,
"add_cdrom": 0,
"boot_order": [
               "disk",
               "network"
              ],
"scsi_controllers":[
      {
       "type":  "ParaVirtualSCSIController",
       "key":1000
       },
      {
        "type":  "ParaVirtualSCSIController",
        "key":1001
       }
                   ]
}'
