      vSphere plugin 2.13
      VMware vCenter Server 6.0.0 with hosts that have GPU cards.

      Please add a new option in the vSphere Build step "Reconfigure VM" that allows a GPU-card to be added, removed or adjusted (there are several "sizes" of GPU to choose from).

      We're running code on our VMs that requires GPU hardware. That means having VMs which have GPUs.
      vSphere can do this, but with some limitations: You can't relocate a VM (or access its console) once it has a GPU (having a GPU it locks it to a specific host and causes vSphere's console to stop working).
      We need to be able to remove the GPU hardware from a VM prior to relocating the VM onto another host, and then to re-add the GPU hardware once the VM is on the right host.
