The list of possible faults that the server can return on error
include:
- CannotAccessFile: Thrown if the source file or folder cannot be
moved because of insufficient permissions.
- FileAlreadyExists: Thrown if a file with the given name already
exists at the destination.
- FileFault: Thrown if there is a generic file error
- FileLocked: Thrown if the source file or folder is currently
locked or in use.
- FileNotFound: Thrown if the file or folder specified by sourceName
is not found.
- InvalidDatastore: Thrown if the operation cannot be performed on
the source or destination datastores.
- NoDiskSpace: Thrown if there is not enough space available on the
destination datastore.
- RuntimeFault: Thrown if any type of runtime fault is thrown that
is not covered by the other faults; for example,
a communication error.

-
file_size(session, ds_browser, ds_path, file_name)
Returns the size of the specified file.
-
get_allowed_datastore_types(disk_type)
-
get_available_datastores(session, cluster=None, datastore_regex=None)
Get the datastore list and choose the first local storage.
-
get_connected_hosts(session, datastore)
Get all the hosts to which the datastore is connected.
| Parameters: | datastore – Reference to the datastore entity |
|---|
| Returns: | List of managed object references of all connected
hosts |

get_datastore(session, cluster, datastore_regex=None, storage_policy=None, allowed_ds_types=frozenset(['NFS41', 'vsan', 'NFS', 'VMFS']))
Get the datastore list and choose the most preferable one.
-
get_dc_info(session, ds_ref)
