Data Object - Capability(vim.Capability)

Property of: ServiceInstance
Extends: DynamicData
See also: EVCMode, FeatureEVCMode
Since: 2.0

Data Object Description

A particular product may or may not support certain features. This data object indicates whether or not a service instance implements these features. This data object type indicates the circumstances under which an operation throws a NotSupported fault.

Support for some features is indicated by the presence or absence of the manager object from the service instance. For example, the AlarmManager manager object indicates collecting alarms is supported. Other features indicate whether or not a given operation on an object throws a NotSupported fault.

Some capabilities depend on the host or virtual machine version. These are specified by using the vim.host.Capability and vim.vm.Capability objects.
