Hi Samadhan,

  Its great to meet here on forum.

You may want to explore:below managed object

Managed Object - StoragePod

Inside Storage Pod, there is below data object

Data Object - StoragePodSummary

StoragePOD is another name of datastore cluster

Let me know if you face any issues retrieving the same

Hi vikas,

Really Happy to se you and feel comfortable to discuss with you.

Actually I tried StoragePod to get datastore Cluster details. But I get null managed entity object even we have one test datastore cluster in my setup...

Please go though below code and snapshot of vcenter client and suggest me,...

ServiceInstance si = new ServiceInstance(url, username, password, true);

Folder rootFolder=si.getRootFolder();

ManagedEntity me = new InventoryNavigator(rootFolder).searchManagedEntity("StoragePod", "test");

StoragePod sp = (StoragePod) me;

System.out.println("DS Cluster Name :: "+sp.getSummary().getName());

Thanks,

Hi Vikas,

I also tried using ManagedObjectRefarance object but still null object received...

ManagedObjectReference mor = new ManagedObjectReference();

mor.setType("StoragePod");

mor.set_value("nfv-cluster001");

StoragePod dsc = (StoragePod) MorUtil.createExactManagedEntity(si.getServerConnection(), mor);

System.out.println("Datastore Name :: "+dsc.getName());

Thanks & Regards,

ManagedObjectReference mor = new ManagedObjectReference();

            mor.setType("StoragePod");

            mor.set_value("nfv-cluster001");

            StoragePod dsc = (StoragePod) MorUtil.createExactManagedEntity(si.getServerConnection(), mor);

            System.out.println("Datastore Name :: "+dsc.getName());ManagedObjectReference mor = new ManagedObjectReference();

mor.setType("StoragePod");

mor.set_value("nfv-cluster001");

StoragePod dsc = (StoragePod) MorUtil.createExactManagedEntity(si.getServerConnection(), mor);

System.out.println("Datastore Name :: "+dsc.getName());

Hi,

Problem solved by adding updated source code of StoragePod managed Entity into vim25.jar and disabling SSL certificate.

Thanks vikas for your support.
