This data object type contains information to describe a particular guest operating system.
:extends: vmodl.DynamicData_
Attributes:
id (`str`_):
Identifier (short name) for the guest operating system.
family (`str`_):
Family to which this guest operating system belongs.
fullName (`str`_):
Full name of the guest operating system. For example, if the value of "id" is "win2000Pro", then the value of "fullName" is "Windows 2000 Professional".
supportedMaxCPUs (`int`_):
Maximum number of processors supported for this guest.
