reserved). Default: on demand
--restart-on-failure Restarts the VM if it fails
--tags [TAGS [TAGS ...]]
One or more tags with which to categorize the VM
--boot-volumes BOOT_VOLUMES
Defines the boot volume of the new VM. If there is more than one boot volume it also
indicates the volumes' boot order. Two formats are supported
For a CLI call: the volumes are represented by id=xx:disk_bus=xx:device_type=xx,...
For an API call: the volumes are represented by '[{"id": "xx", "disk_bus": "xx",

of the default VPC network will be assigned
--security-group-ids [SECURITY_GROUP_IDS [SECURITY_GROUP_IDS ...]]
The ID of one or more security groups to be assigned to the default
VPC network or net_id, upon creation of the VM.
If security groups are defined by this argument, then they cannot be

--protection-group-id PROTECTION_GROUP_ID
The ID of the protection group responsible for creating this VM snapshot
--bdm BDM A list of block device mappings for the VM.
Each of the items in the list is a dictionary with optional keys 'snapshot_id',
'boot_index', 'volume_size_gib', 'storage_pool', 'disk_type' and 'bus_type'.
If 'boot_index' is specified, then 'disk_type' and 'bus_type' must be specified as well.
The values of 'boot_index' in the BDM, if specified, must be sequential and start with 0

'ide' or 'virtio'. If not specified, the defaults are 'disk' and 'virtio'.
This parameter is mutually exclusive with both boot_volumes and volumes_to_attach
parameters.
Example:
[{"snapshot_id":"ca166313-7050-42d6-87da-7e3e70f611e6","boot_index":0,"disk_type":"disk","bus_type":"ide"},
