Feature Request

Hi, I am using the SDK to automate creation of VMs, and everything is successful except adding the VM to an existing Host Group, to apply a DRS rule that applies to that host group.

I am unable to find a way to do this using the SDK documentation, source code or provided samples. I initially thought I had found it with compute_policy_workflow, but this does not seem the thing - the existing host group/rule is not related to tags at all, and the examples/documentation do not seem to provide a way to list existing policies, only create new ones. Docs used here

If this functionality exists, please can you point me at an example for adding a VM to an existing Host Group? If not, can this functionalilty be added?

Do you mean , moving this VM to a host group (Cluster). If so, this is not currently supported in this SDK bindings. And this may be supported in future releases. Whenever available, we can provide sample code.

Ok, thansk for the answer. I am trying to use this as a cross-platform replacement for powershell my team to be able to deploy new VMs. Is there an expectation or a timeframe for this SDK to wrap 'most' features in the VMWare API?

@jake2184 Can you please confirm if the latest SDK supports this feature or not?
