Hi Klaus.
Thank you for your quick answer!
Sure, vm machine is turned off. I trying to turn HPET on after snapshot is restored (machine is down) but got this error. And yes , as I understand from SDK, such settings shall work with mutable machine. Setting RAM size works fine, but HPET failed. I specify that IMachine_setCPUHotPlugEnabled doesn't work this way. Few month ago we were try to set videocapturing on and also no positive results. Could it be a defect with processing boolean values when we work with vboxwebsrv?
Can't tell from here what's "going over the wire" with your code, but as long as the error message has the word "mutable" in it I wouldn't expect trouble with the parameters as such, more with the references.

Is there a particular reason why you can't/don't want to use ZSI? It's what e.g. vboxshell.py uses if one selects the webservice. It gives a nice, direct python object interface to the API, and can also talk to the local API when it runs on the same system...

    Hi Yuriy,

        Hi Guys!

        Forum  moderator suggests me to contact somebody from
        developers to solve my problem faster than waiting answer on
        forum.


        I have a trouble setting boolean values via SOAP for VBOX.
        Actually, I need to set IMachine_setHPETEnabled to True
        programmatically, but IMachine_setCPUHotPlugEnabled also
        doesn't work.
        Trying to set these parameters always follows with Machine is
        not mutable error. But setting of memory like in SDK example
        works fine.
        What I'm actually do. I using suds SOAP client library for
        Python.

    This doesn't sound like a problem with specific bindings to me
    (never used suds though, only used ZSI as you can see in the
    samples in the SDK). From the symptoms you're using the wrong
    IMachine reference. On the other hand, I can't explain why setting
    the memory size with the same reference works, it's doing the
    exact same checks on the API implementation side.

    Are you sure that the snapshot you are restoring is an "offline"
    one, i.e. for a powered off VM? Otherwise the VM is in saved
    state, which means no significant reconfiguration is possible (but
    again, same rules for HPET and memory size...).

Klaus
