One of `manual` or `upgradeAtPowerCycle`. Default: `manual`.
-        :param pulumi.Input['VirtualMachineVappArgs'] vapp: Used for vApp configurations. The only sub-key available is `properties`, which is a key/value map of properties for virtual machines imported from and OVF/OVA. See Using vApp Properties for OVF/OVA Configuration for more information.
-        :param pulumi.Input[bool] vbs_enabled: Enable Virtualization Based Security. Requires `firmware` to be `efi`. In addition, `vvtd_enabled`, `nested_hv_enabled`, and `efi_secure_boot_enabled` must all have a value of `true`. Supported on vSphere 6.7 and later. Default: `false`.
-        :param pulumi.Input[bool] vvtd_enabled: Enable Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O for the virtual machine (_I/O MMU_ in the vSphere Client). Supported on vSphere 6.7 and later. Default: `false`.
-        :param pulumi.Input[int] wait_for_guest_ip_timeout: The amount of time, in minutes, to wait for an available guest IP address on the virtual machine.

-        :param pulumi.Input[bool] wait_for_guest_net_routable: Controls whether or not the guest network waiter waits for a routable address. When `false`, the waiter does not wait for a default gateway, nor are IP addresses checked against any discovered default gateways as part of its success criteria. This property is ignored if the `wait_for_guest_ip_timeout` waiter is used. Default: `true`.
-        :param pulumi.Input[int] wait_for_guest_net_timeout: The amount of time, in minutes, to wait for an available guest IP address on the virtual machine. Older versions of VMware Tools do not populate this property. In those cases, this waiter can be disabled and the `wait_for_guest_ip_timeout` waiter can be used instead. A value less than `1` disables the waiter. Default: `5` minutes.
+        :param pulumi.Input[str] scsi_type: The type of SCSI bus this virtual machine will have. Can be one of lsilogic, lsilogic-sas or pvscsi.
+        :param pulumi.Input[int] shutdown_wait_timeout: The amount of time, in minutes, to wait for shutdown when making necessary updates to the virtual machine.
+        :param pulumi.Input[str] storage_policy_id: The ID of the storage policy to assign to the virtual machine home directory.
+        :param pulumi.Input[str] swap_placement_policy: The swap file placement policy for this virtual machine. Can be one of inherit, hostLocal, or vmDirectory.
+        :param pulumi.Input[bool] sync_time_with_host: Enable guest clock synchronization with the host. On vSphere 7.0 U1 and above, with only this setting the clock is
+               synchronized on startup and resume. Requires VMware Tools to be installed.
+        :param pulumi.Input[bool] sync_time_with_host_periodically: Enable periodic clock synchronization with the host. Supported only on vSphere 7.0 U1 and above. On prior versions
+               setting `sync_time_with_host` is enough for periodic synchronization. Requires VMware Tools to be installed.
+        :param pulumi.Input[Sequence[pulumi.Input[str]]] tags: A list of tag IDs to apply to this object.
+        :param pulumi.Input[str] tools_upgrade_policy: Set the upgrade policy for VMware Tools. Can be one of `manual` or `upgradeAtPowerCycle`.
+        :param pulumi.Input['VirtualMachineVappArgs'] vapp: vApp configuration data for this virtual machine. Can be used to provide configuration data for OVF images.
+        :param pulumi.Input[bool] vbs_enabled: Flag to specify if Virtualization-based security is enabled for this virtual machine.
+        :param pulumi.Input[bool] vvtd_enabled: Flag to specify if I/O MMU virtualization, also called Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) and AMD
