The following example outlines how to modify sub-resources. In this example, the name of a disk with the name 'test_Disk1' belonging to a virtual machine with the name 'test' is changed to 'test_Disk1_updated'.

Procedure

  1. Declare an instance of the resource whose sub-resource is to be modified:

    VM vm = api.getVMs().get("test");

  2. Declare an instance of the sub-resource to be modified:

    VMDisk disk = vm.getDisks().get("test_Disk1");

  3. Set the new value of the attribute:

    disk.setAlias("test_Disk1_updated");

  4. Update the sub-resource:

    VMDisk updateDisk = disk.update();
