Hi I am new in python and I am exploring pyvmomi. Here I want to fetch vm info.Like I have one data center i.e "DataCenter1" In that data center there are two folders LinuxServer and WindowsServer these folder contains vms.So I want to fetch vm name with their respective folder names
DataCenter1
|
|----LinuxServer
| |---RHEL-VM
| |---Ubuntu-VM
|
|----WindowsServer
| |---win2k12r2-VM
| |---win2k8r2-VM
My code:
from pyvim.connect import SmartConnect, Disconnect
import ssl
context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE
connect = SmartConnect(host="172.0.0.0",user="root",pwd="****",port=int("443"),sslContext=context)
datacenter = connect.content.rootFolder.childEntity[0]
print (datacenter)
vms = datacenter.vmFolder.childEntity
for i in vms:
print(i.name)
#Here I want to fetch vm name and their respective folder names
Disconnect(c)
Here I am able to fetch all vm names but I want to fetch folder name of respective vm. Is there any method ? Can you please guide me.
Here you will get parent name of that vm means i.e your folder name if it exist.
from pyvim.connect import SmartConnect, Disconnect
import ssl
context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE
connect = SmartConnect(host="172.0.0.0",user="root",pwd="****",port=int("443"),sslContext=context)
datacenter = connect.content.rootFolder.childEntity[0]
print (datacenter)
vms = datacenter.vmFolder.childEntity
for vm in vms:
print(vm.parent.name)
Disconnect(c)
