Description

I want to create a new VM(without using any templates). I want to attach virtual disk to it of specific size, 3 NIC adapters, 2 CD-ROM(to attach iso kept in datastore), RAM and CPU of specific size.

I did find sample to create VM(basic configuration) and attach virtual disks to it. Can someone please share sample to create the entire VM with the mentioned specifications at one go.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review existing pyVmomi samples for VM creation and disk attachment, then combine with NIC and CD ROM configuration using the vSphere API. Focus on the 'CreateVM Template' sample and extend it with additional hardware configurations.
