Solved: Re: Query vCloud Director for vApp or VM

vmSpecDaniel · ‎07-09-2015

Hello,

can anyone help me in writing orchestrator scriptable task that checks if a given string is a name of vCloud virtual machine or vCloud vApp?

The vCloud api seems to be very not intuitive for me.

Take a look at my Custom Deploy vApp workflow found in the package here: Custom Deploy vApp Workflow for vCloud Director 5.1

In particular, once imported, review the scriptable task "VM Customization" - there is a section there that checks to see if the generated VM name is unique.

Good luck
