The
response
echoes
the
request
but
now
has
a
status
attribute
whose
value
is
initially
0
and
an
href
attribute
whose
value
is
the
URL
of
the
new
provider
vDC.
It
also
includes
some
additional
elements
created
by
the
server:
Link
elements
for
actions
and
related
references
A
Task
element
that
tracks
creation
of
the
provider

When
the
task
completes,
the
value
of
the
provider
vDC’s
status
attribute
changes
to
1
.
A
HostReferences
element
that
contains
references
to
the
ESX/ESXi

the
vCenter
server
backing
this

Examine the vSphere Objects in a Provider vDC
A
system
administrator
can
retrieve
a
list
of
ProviderVdcReferences
(see
“List
Provider
vDCs
in
a
vCloud”
on
page 120),
then
use
the
value
of
the
href
attribute
in
any
ProviderVdcReference
as
the
target
of
a
GET
request.
The
response
is
a
VMWProviderVdc
body
similar
to
the
one
shown
in
the
response
in
Example 7
‐
18
.
Modify a Provider vDC
To
modify
a
provider
vDC,
make
a
PUT
request
to
its
edit
link,
and
supply
a
modified
version
of
the
VMWProviderVdc
element
in
the
request
body.
In
Example 7
‐
19
,
the
client
modifies
the
Cpu Allocation
of
the
provider
vDC
created
in
Example 7
‐
18
,
then
includes
the
modified
element
in
a
PUT
request
to
the
edit
link
in
the
VMWProviderVdc
element.
You
must
include
all
required
elements
and
attributes
in
the
request,
even

you
are
not
changing.
