VMs and templates in these collections have a similar representation to their counterparts in the top-level VMs and templates collection, except they also contain a storage_domain reference and an import action.
The import action imports a virtual machine or a template from an export storage domain. The destination cluster and storage domain is specified with cluster and storage_domain references.
Include an optional name element to give the virtual machine or template a specific name.
