Request Parameters
Name Type Location Description Optional Value Starting Version
uuid String url The VM instance UUID. 0.6
name String body (contained in the updateVmInstance structure) Optional. The VM instance name. 0.6
description String body (contained in the updateVmInstance structure) Optional. The detailed description of the VM instance. 0.6
state String body (contained in the updateVmInstance structure) Optional. The state of the VM instance.
  • Generally, the state of a VM instance cannot be updated directly. Otherwise, ZStack Cloud might misjudge the state of the VM instance.
  • This parameter can be used only when the actual state of the VM instance is inconsistent with the state recorded by ZStack Cloud, and the synchronization mechanism of ZStack Cloud has expired (which is us usually a bug).
  • The administrator must fully understand the consequences of using this parameter.
  • Stopped
  • Running
0.6
defaultL3NetworkUuid String body (contained in the updateVmInstance structure) Optional. The UUID of the default L3 network. 0.6
platform String body (contained in the updateVmInstance structure) Optional. The platform type of the VM instance.
  • Linux
  • Windows
  • WindowsVirtio
  • Other
  • Paravirtualization
0.6
cpuNum Integer body (contained in the updateVmInstance structure) Optional.
  • The CPU count of the VM instance. You must stop or enable the VM instance for the setting of this parameter to take effect.
  • The VM instance that is created when NUMA is set to true in global settings can be adjusted.
0.6
memorySize Long body (contained in the updateVmInstance structure) Optional.
  • The memory size of the VM instance. You must stop or enable the VM instance for the setting of this parameter to take effect.
  • The VM instance that is created when NUMA is set to true in global settings can be adjusted.
0.6
guestOsType String body (contained in the updateVmInstance structure) Optional. 4.1.0
systemTags List body Optional. The system tags. 0.6
userTags List body Optional. The user tags. 0.6
