connect

void connect(java.lang.String vm,
             java.lang.String nic,
             InvocationConfig invocationConfig)

Connects a virtual Ethernet adapter 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.EthernetTypes.UpdateSpec) method may be used to configure the virtual Ethernet adapter to start in the connected state when the virtual machine is powered on.

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:

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

nic - Virtual Ethernet adapter identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Ethernet.

invocationConfig - Configuration for the method invocation.

Throws:

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

NotFound - if the virtual machine or virtual Ethernet adapter is not found.

AlreadyInDesiredState - if the virtual Ethernet adapter 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.

connect

void connect(java.lang.String vm,
             java.lang.String nic,
             AsyncCallback<java.lang.Void> asyncCallback)

Connects a virtual Ethernet adapter 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.EthernetTypes.UpdateSpec) method may be used to configure the virtual Ethernet adapter 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.

Operation Errors:
Error - if the system reports an error while responding to the request.
NotFound - if the virtual machine or virtual Ethernet adapter is not found.
AlreadyInDesiredState - if the virtual Ethernet adapter is already connected.
NotAllowedInCurrentState - if the virtual machine is not powered on.

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.

nic - Virtual Ethernet adapter identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Ethernet.

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

disconnect

void disconnect(java.lang.String vm,
                java.lang.String nic)

Disconnects a virtual Ethernet adapter 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 Ethernet adapter 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.EthernetTypes.UpdateSpec) method may be used to configure the virtual Ethernet adapter 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.

nic - Virtual Ethernet adapter identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Ethernet.

Throws:

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

NotFound - if the virtual machine or virtual Ethernet adapter is not found.

AlreadyInDesiredState - if the virtual Ethernet adapter is already disconnected.
