This file contains the CA Virtual Assurance administrator credentials that were generated using the dpmutil set auth command. When this option is not specified, the default authorization file is used.
(Optional) Specifies a component ID that you can use to group hosts and users.
Specifies the name of the template you want to use for the cloned virtual machine. This parameter replaces -vm_name_cloned_from and you cannot specify both together.

(Optional) Specifies the [assign itcm product name for the adsm variable] scalability server for software distribution.
(Optional) Specifies the name of the specification you want to use for the cloned virtual machine.
Specifies the cluster or VMware ESX host where the VM is created.
