Hi,
Is there anyone that can tell me how to find vm details from the VM Name in C# ?
I tried using VMWare.Vim.dll but could not link existing datastore properties to an existing VM.
For VM, i could link the host of the VM with the following code but no more :
System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (se, cert, chain, sslerror) => { return true; };
VimClient vimClient = new VimClientImpl();
ServiceContent vimServiceContent = new ServiceContent();
string sViServer = "<VcenterIpAddress>";
string sUsername = "<VcenterAdminLogin>";
string sPassword = "<VcenterAdminPasswd>";
vimClient.Connect("https://" + sViServer + "/sdk");
vimClient.Login(sUsername, sPassword);
vimServiceContent = vimClient.ServiceContent;
NameValueCollection filter = new NameValueCollection();
IList<VMware.Vim.EntityViewBase> vmList = vimClient.FindEntityViews(typeof(VirtualMachine), null, filter, null);
foreach (VirtualMachine vm in vmList)
{
Console.WriteLine(vm.Name);
VMware.Vim.CustomFieldValue[] VmValues = vm.Value;
foreach (VMware.Vim.CustomFieldValue VmValue in VmValues)
{
Console.WriteLine(VmValue.Key.ToString());
}
HostSystem host = (HostSystem)vimClient.GetView(vm.Runtime.Host, null);
Console.WriteLine(host.Name);
ManagedObjectReference[] DsList = vm.Datastore;
foreach (ManagedObjectReference Ds in DsList)
{
Console.WriteLine(Ds.Type);
Console.WriteLine(Ds.Value);
}
}
For Datastore, i have the following code but no link between the two parts of code :
IList<VMware.Vim.EntityViewBase> DatastoreList = vimClient.FindEntityViews(typeof(Datastore), null, filter, null);
foreach (Datastore Datastore in DatastoreList)
{
Console.WriteLine(Datastore.Name);
Console.WriteLine(Datastore.Value);
ManagedObjectReference[] Vms = Datastore.Vm;
foreach (ManagedObjectReference Vm in Vms)
{
Console.WriteLine(Vm.Type);
Console.WriteLine(Vm.Value);
}
DatastoreHostMount[] Hosts = Datastore.Host;
foreach (DatastoreHostMount host in Hosts)
{
Console.WriteLine(host.Key);
}
}
If no solution i'll use a powercli script, but i would like to have all in c#.
Could you help me plz ?
Fred
