Creating a Draft Software
Specification
To describe the components of a desired state for a cluster or a standalone host,
create a draft software specification and save the desired state when ready.
To edit an existing desired state or to create an empty draft software specification:
- For a cluster,use the.POST https://request<vcenter_ip_address_or_fqdn>/api/esx/settings/clusters/<cluster_id>/software/drafts
- For a standalone host,use the.POST https://request<vcenter_ip_address_or_fqdn>/api/esx/settings/hosts/<host_id>/software/drafts
Submit the cluster ID
or the host ID as path parameters to the respective request.
As a result, you
receive a draft ID which you can use to add a base image, an add-on, or some components
to the draft.
