Method Detail

find

Map<String,NetworkTypes.Info> find(List<String> networks)

Returns network information for the specified vCenter Server networks. The key in the return value Map is the network identifier and the value in the Map is the network information.

Synchronous method overload. Result of the invocation will be reported as a method return value.

Parameters:

networks - Identifiers of the vCenter Server networks for which information will be returned. The parameter must contain identifiers for the resource type: Network.

Returns:

Network information for the specified vCenter Server networks. The key in the return value Map is the network identifier and the value in the Map is the network information. The key in the return value Map will be an identifier for the resource type: Network.

Throws:

NotFound - if no datastore can be found for one or more of the vCenter Server network identifiers in networks

Unauthorized - if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows:

• Method execution requires System.Read.
• The resource Network referenced by the parameter networks requires System.Read.

find

Map<String,NetworkTypes.Info> find(List<String> networks,
                                 InvocationConfig invocationConfig)

Returns network information for the specified vCenter Server networks. The key in the return value Map is the network identifier and the value in the Map is the network information.

Synchronous method overload. Result of the invocation will be reported as a method return value. Use invocationConfig to specify configuration for this particular invocation.

Parameters:

networks - Identifiers of the vCenter Server networks for which information will be returned. The parameter must contain identifiers for the resource type: Network.

invocationConfig - Configuration for the method invocation.

Returns:

Network information for the specified vCenter Server networks. The key in the return value Map is the network identifier and the value in the Map is the network information. The key in the return value Map will be an identifier for the resource type: Network.

Throws:

NotFound - if no datastore can be found for one or more of the vCenter Server network identifiers in networks

Unauthorized - if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows:

• Method execution requires System.Read.
• The resource Network referenced by the parameter networks requires System.Read.

find

void find(List<String> networks,
        AsyncCallback<Map<String,NetworkTypes.Info>> asyncCallback)

Returns network information for the specified vCenter Server networks. The key in the return value Map is the network identifier and the value in the Map is the network information.

Asynchronous method overload. Result of the invocation will be reported via the specified asyncCallback.

Operation Result:
Network information for the specified vCenter Server networks. The key in the return value Map is the network identifier and the value in the Map is the network information. The key in the return value Map will be an identifier for the resource type: Network.

Operation Errors:
NotFound - if no datastore can be found for one or more of the vCenter Server network identifiers in networks
Unauthorized - if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows:

• Method execution requires System.Read.
• The resource Network referenced by the parameter networks requires System.Read.

Parameters:

networks - Identifiers of the vCenter Server networks for which information will be returned. The parameter must contain identifiers for the resource type: Network.

asyncCallback - Receives the status (progress, result or error) of the operation invocation.

find

void find(List<String> networks,
        AsyncCallback<Map<String,NetworkTypes.Info>> asyncCallback,
        InvocationConfig invocationConfig)

Operation Result:
Network information for the specified vCenter Server networks. The key in the return value Map is the network identifier and the value in the Map is the network information. The key in the return value Map will be an identifier for the resource type: Network.

Operation Errors:
NotFound - if no datastore can be found for one or more of the vCenter Server network identifiers in networks
Unauthorized - if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows:

• Method execution requires System.Read.
• The resource Network referenced by the parameter networks requires System.Read.

Parameters:

networks - Identifiers of the vCenter Server networks for which information will be returned. The parameter must contain identifiers for the resource type: Network.

asyncCallback - Receives the status (progress, result or error) of the operation invocation.

invocationConfig - Configuration for the method invocation.
