Determining vcenter / data center & resource pool from VC:VirtualMachine object

[TimDScott]

Hi All,

I'm working on a workflow that takes an input of type VC:VirtualMachine, then runs different processes depending on the vm's vcenter / data center & resource pool values.

What I don't know is the best way to get hold of these 3 values. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Tim.

Hi Tim,

Here is some sample code (the input is variable vm of type VC:VirtualMachine):

// find resource pool
System.log("resource pool: " + vm.resourcePool);
// find datacenter
var p = vm.parent;
while (p != null) {
  if (p instanceof VcDatacenter) {
    System.log("datacenter: " + p);
    break;
  }
  p = p.parent;
}
// find vCenter connection
System.log("vcenter: " + vm.sdkConnection);
