Package prlsdkapi Class Vm
begin edit(self )
Timestamp the beginning of the virtual machine editing operation. This
method must be called before making any modifications to the virtual machine
configuration. When the desired configuration properties are set, call
Vm.commit to commit the changes to the Parallels Service. The two functions
are used to detect collisions with other clients trying to modify the same
virtual machine at the same time.
This is an asynchronous method.
Return Value
A Job object.
commit(self )
Commit the virtual machine configuration changes to the Parallels Service.
This is an asynchronous method.
Return Value
A Job object.
refresh config(self )
update config(self )
This method is obsolete and is left for backward compatibility only.
create device(self, device type)
Create and return a new virtual device object based on the specified device
type. Each virtual machine device type has a corresponding class in the
Parallels Service Python API. You can search this documentation for available
virtual device classes using the following rule: a class name begins with ’Vm’
followed by the device type description followed by ’Dev’. For example:
VmHddDev, VmNetDev, VmSoundDev, etc.
Parameters
device type: Device type. Based on the type specified here, an
instance of the corresponding class will be created.
See consts.PDE xxx for available options.
Return Value
An instance of the requested class.
