com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters_client module

The com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters_client module provides classes to manage desired state configuration and software for a cluster of ESX hosts.

class com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters_client.DepotOverrides(config)

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.stub.VapiInterface

The DepotOverrides class provides methods to manage software depots overriden for a given cluster. In general ESX servers reach out to vCenter (VUM) to fetch the metadata and payloads required for lifecycle operations. But in ROBO environments ESX clusters can’t (or because of bandwidth requirements shouldn’t) reach out to vCenter to fetch payloads and metadata. This class allows setting cluster level overrides for depots. If any depots are provided for a cluster, then vCenter level depots are not used for that cluster’s remediation. These are not synced periodically at vCenter and are only used by ESXs for lifecycle operations.

Parameters

config (vmware.vapi.bindings.stub.StubConfiguration) – Configuration to be used for creating the stub.

class Depot(location=None)

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.struct.VapiStruct

class Info(depots=None)

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.struct.VapiStruct
