AlreadyInDesiredState - if the virtual floppy drive is already connected.
NotAllowedInCurrentState - if the virtual machine is not powered on.
ResourceBusy - if the virtual machine is busy performing another operation.
ResourceInaccessible - if the virtual machine's configuration state cannot be accessed.
ServiceUnavailable - if the system is unable to communicate with a service to complete the request.
Unauthenticated - if the user can not be authenticated.
Unauthorized - if the user doesn't have the required privileges.

Parameters:

vm - Virtual machine identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: VirtualMachine.

floppy - Virtual floppy drive identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Floppy.

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

connect

void connect(String vm,
           String floppy,
           AsyncCallback<Void> asyncCallback,
           InvocationConfig invocationConfig)

Connects a virtual floppy drive of a powered-on virtual machine to its backing. Connecting the virtual device makes the backing accessible from the perspective of the guest operating system.

For a powered-off virtual machine, the update(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.FloppyTypes.UpdateSpec) method may be used to configure the virtual floppy drive to start in the connected state when the virtual machine is powered on.

Asynchronous method overload. Result of the invocation will be reported via the specified asyncCallback. Use invocationConfig to specify configuration for this particular invocation.

Operation Errors:
Error - if the system reports an error while responding to the request.
NotFound - if the virtual machine or virtual floppy drive is not found.
AlreadyInDesiredState - if the virtual floppy drive is already connected.
NotAllowedInCurrentState - if the virtual machine is not powered on.
ResourceBusy - if the virtual machine is busy performing another operation.
ResourceInaccessible - if the virtual machine's configuration state cannot be accessed.
ServiceUnavailable - if the system is unable to communicate with a service to complete the request.
Unauthenticated - if the user can not be authenticated.
Unauthorized - if the user doesn't have the required privileges.

Parameters:

vm - Virtual machine identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: VirtualMachine.

floppy - Virtual floppy drive identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Floppy.

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

invocationConfig - Configuration for the method invocation.

disconnect

void disconnect(String vm,
              String floppy)

Disconnects a virtual floppy drive of a powered-on virtual machine from its backing. The virtual device is still present and its backing configuration is unchanged, but from the perspective of the guest operating system, the floppy drive is not connected to its backing resource.

For a powered-off virtual machine, the update(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.FloppyTypes.UpdateSpec) method may be used to configure the virtual floppy floppy to start in the disconnected state when the virtual machine is powered on.

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

Parameters:

vm - Virtual machine identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: VirtualMachine.

floppy - Virtual floppy drive identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Floppy.

Throws:

Error - if the system reports an error while responding to the request.

NotFound - if the virtual machine or virtual floppy drive is not found.

AlreadyInDesiredState - if the virtual floppy drive is already disconnected.

NotAllowedInCurrentState - if the virtual machine is not powered on.

ResourceBusy - if the virtual machine is busy performing another operation.

ResourceInaccessible - if the virtual machine's configuration state cannot be accessed.

ServiceUnavailable - if the system is unable to communicate with a service to complete the request.

Unauthenticated - if the user can not be authenticated.

Unauthorized - if the user doesn't have the required privileges.
