Method Detail

list

java.util.List<PoliciesTypes.Summary> list(PoliciesTypes.FilterSpec filter)

Returns information about at most 1024 visible (subject to permission checks) storage solicies availabe in vCenter. These storage policies can be used for provisioning virtual machines or disks. This method was added in vSphere API 6.7.

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

Parameters:

filter - Specification of matching storage policies for which information should be returned. If null, the behavior is equivalent to a PoliciesTypes.FilterSpec with all properties null which means all storage policies match the filter

Returns:

Commonly used Information about the storage policies.

Throws:

InvalidArgument - if the PoliciesTypes.FilterSpec contains a value that is not supported by the server.

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.

UnableToAllocateResource - if more than 1024 storage policies exist.
