Hi,
The customParameter name is used to indicate that it should be passed when
using customised values for some parameters of a vm. This is not metadata. as
of now we use this to pass custom values of cpu, memory and cup cores.
However to be consistent with the other APIs we are changing this name to
details. which is vague as detail can be anything that is related to a vm
generally metadata. Also we populate these details in the response.

> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the

> Affects Versions: 4.3.0
> Reporter: Alena Prokharchyk

> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 4.3.0

>
> deployVm API got a new param in 4.3 -“customparameters”. The description of
> the parameter is very vague and generic “used to specify the custom
> parameters”.
> Is it just the metadata in form of value/key pairs? If so, please change the
> name to “details” - the generic name used when specify key/value metadata in
> other API commands.
> Also you need to save this information in the “user_vm_details” table, and
> return it in the UserVmResponse, “details” map parameter. I don’t see “custom
> parameters” key map being returned anywhere in the UserVmResponse. Its very
> confusing, because whatever is passed to the Create/Update call, should be
> returned in the response as well.
> It all has to be fixed in 4.3 branch.
