Get information about the VMware Tools installer. This method was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

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

Parameters:

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

Returns:

information about the VMware Tools installer.

Throws:

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

NotFound - if the virtual machine is not found.

get

InstallerTypes.Info get(java.lang.String vm,
                        InvocationConfig invocationConfig)

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 - Identifier of the virtual machine. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: VirtualMachine.

invocationConfig - Configuration for the method invocation.

Returns:

information about the VMware Tools installer.

Throws:

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

NotFound - if the virtual machine is not found.

get

void get(java.lang.String vm,
         AsyncCallback<InstallerTypes.Info> asyncCallback)

Get information about the VMware Tools installer. This method was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

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

Get information about the VMware Tools installer. This method was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

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

Invocation Result:
information about the VMware Tools installer.

Operation Errors:
Error - if the system reports an error while responding to the request.
NotFound - if the virtual machine is not found.

Parameters:

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

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

invocationConfig - Configuration for the method invocation.

connect

void connect(java.lang.String vm)

Connects the VMware Tools CD installer as a CD-ROM for the guest operating system. On Windows guest operating systems with autorun, this should cause the installer to initiate the Tools installation which will need user input to complete. On other (non-Windows) guest operating systems this will make the Tools installation available, and a a user will need to do guest-specific actions. On Linux, this includes opening an archive and running the installer. To monitor the status of the Tools install, clients should check the getVersionStatus() and getRunState() from Tools.get(java.lang.String). This method was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

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

Parameters:

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

Throws:

NotFound - if the virtual machine is not found.

NotAllowedInCurrentState - if the virtual machine is not powered on.

AlreadyInDesiredState - if the VMware Tools CD is already connected.

Error - if the Tools installation fails in the guest operating system.
