I could be missing something, but "vmadm update UUID -f /path/to/update.json" should work. It's not immediately obvious, but the info is in the vmadm manpage.
In the case of nics and disks, there are 3 special objects: add_disks || add_nics remove_disks || remove_nics update_disks || update_nics For NICs for example, you can include an array of NIC objects with the parameter add_nics in your input. Those NICs would get added to the VM. For update you also pass in a new NIC object but only need to specify the "mac" parameter (to identify which NIC to update) and the properties that you want to change. If you need to change the MAC address itself, you'll need to add a new NIC with the same properties and a different MAC, and remove the existing one. To remove a NIC, the remove_nics property should be an array of MAC addresses only (not NIC objects). For me, it helped to find examples, then started a small library of .json files to use as templates.
