Description

We would like the ability to move VMs between networks and/or reconfigure a VM's network, in order to accomodate hybrid/traditional server loads. We've implemented 3 API calls and would like to submit these for the community to edit/adjust/approve. The three calls are 'addNicToVirtualMachine','removeNicFromVirtualMachine', and 'updateDefaultNicForVirtualMachine'. One provides a VM Id and a network id, default Nics cannot be removed. The names might need adjustment to better fit the API, perhaps 'attachNetworkToVirtualMachine', etc. Looking for feedback, advice, potential pitfalls... does a feature branch need to be created or just a review?
