Datacenter Query Connection Info Via Spec
This method provides a way of getting basic information about a host without adding it to a datacenter.
This method is similar to QueryConnectionInfo, but it takes a HostConnectSpec as argument, instead of list of parameters.
Required privileges: System.View
The unique identifier for the managed object to which the method attaches; the serialized managed object reference for a request has the form moType/moId, in this case Datacenter/{moId}.
The vSphere release schema. The current specification covers vSphere 8.0.3.0 APIs.
"QueryConnectionInfoViaSpecRequestType Object"Specifies the parameters needed to add a single host.
This includes a small set of optional information about the host configuration. This allows the network and datastore configuration of the host to be synchronized with the naming conventions of the datacenter, as well as the configuration of a vim account (the username/password for the virtual machine files that is created on disk).
OK
"HostConnectInfo Object"The IP address of the VirtualCenter already managing this host, if any.
If the host is already being managed by a vCenter Server, this property reports true if the host is also part of a vSphere HA enabled cluster.
If this is the case, remove or disconnect the host from this cluster before adding it to another vCenter Server.
This data object type encapsulates a typical set of host information that is useful for list views and summary pages.
VirtualCenter can retrieve this information very efficiently, even for a large set of hosts.
The list of virtual machines on the host.
Whether or not the host requires a vimAccountName and password to be set in the ConnectSpec.
This is normally only required for VMware Server hosts.
Whether or not the host supports clustering capabilities such as HA or DRS and therefore can be added to a cluster.
If false, the host must be added as a standalone host.
The list of network information for networks configured on this host.
The list of datastores on the host.
This data object type describes license information stored on the host.
Specifies the capabilities of the particular host.
This set of capabilities is referenced in other parts of the API specification to indicate under what circumstances an API will throw a NotSupported fault.
InvalidArgument: if the spec argument does not provide values for all needed connection parameters.
