Add "Rename" to VM operations #413

Closed davidanizar closed 7 months ago

davidanizar commented 7 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The possibility to rename a VM would be very helpful to improve test automation.

Describe the solution you'd like

rename could be added as a VM.attribute Example: self.vsphere_client.vcenter.VM.rename(VM.FilterSpec(names=names))

Describe alternatives you've considered

I try to wrap code: vmkfstools -i originalname.vmdk newname.vmdk or even: set-vm

Additional context
