Usage¶
Example usage of getting a handle to a vSphere session and retrieving all the ESX hosts in a server:
from oslo_vmware import api
from oslo_vmware import vim_util
# Get a handle to a vSphere API session
session = api.VMwareAPISession(
'10.1.2.3', # vSphere host endpoint
'administrator', # vSphere username
'password', # vSphere password
10, # Number of retries for connection failures in tasks
0.1 # Poll interval for async tasks (in seconds)
)
# Example call to get all the managed objects of type "HostSystem"
# on the server.
result = session.invoke_api(
vim_util, # Handle to VIM utility module
'get_objects', # API method name to invoke
session.vim, 'HostSystem', 100) # Params to API method (*args)
