Examples
Creating a VM with default parameters from the vm template.
az csvmware vm create -n MyVm -g MyResourceGroup -p MyPrivateCloud -r MyResourcePool --template MyVmTemplate
Creating a VM and adding an extra nic to the VM with virtual network MyVirtualNetwork, adapter VMXNET3, that power ups on boot. The name entered in the nic is for identification purposes only, to see if such a nic name exists in the vm template, else a nic is created and a new name is assigned. Lets say the vm template contains a nic with name "Network adapter 1".
az csvmware vm create -n MyVm -g MyResourceGroup -p MyPrivateCloud -r MyResourcePool --template MyVmTemplate --nic name=NicNameWouldBeAssigned virtual-network=MyVirtualNetwork adapter=VMXNET3 power-on-boot=True
Customizing specific properties of a VM. Changing the number of cores to 2 and adapter of "Network adapter 1" nic to E1000E, from that specified in the template. All other properties would be defaulted from the template.
az csvmware vm create -n MyVm -g MyResourceGroup -p MyPrivateCloud -r MyResourcePool --template MyVmTemplate --cores 2 --nic name="Network adapter 1" adapter=E1000E
Customizing specific properties of a VM. Changing the adapter of "Network adapter 1" nic to E1000E, from that specified in the template, and also adding another nic with virtual network MyVirtualNetwork, adapter VMXNET3, that power ups on boot.

Creating a VM and adding an extra disk to the VM with SCSI controller 0, persistent mode, and 41943040 KB size. The name entered in the disk is for identification purposes only, to see if such a disk name exists in the vm template, else a disk is created and a new name is assigned. Lets say the vm template contains a disk with name "Hard disk 1".
az csvmware vm create -n MyVm -g MyResourceGroup -p MyPrivateCloud -r MyResourcePool --template MyVmTemplate --disk name=DiskNameWouldBeAssigned controller=1000 mode=persistent size=41943040
