- {{vcd_url}}
- {{vm-uuid}}: select VM -> take a look vm uuid on url
-{{Bearer Token}}: Please follow “Api token login” document
2. Get VM’s memory information

- ‘Accept’: */*;version=37.2
- ‘Content-type’: application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItem+xml
SEND request.
*** Copy Response Body

Postman:
PUT https://{{vcd_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/memory
Authorization: {{Bearer Token }}
Headers:
- 'Accept: */*;version=37.2
- ‘Content-type’: application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItem+xml
Body: {{select raw -> copy and paste response body from Get VM’s memory information }}
Ex:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns4:Item xmlns:ovf="http://schemas.dmtf.org/ovf/envelope/1" xmlns:rasd="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData" xmlns:common="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/common" xmlns:ns4="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5" xmlns:vssd="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData" xmlns:vmw="http://www.vmware.com/schema/ovf"
