matching on a portgroup

[pabloramos]

If provided the VC:ClusterComputeResource, does someone have existing code that could retrieve all available DistributedVirtual port groups? I thought about using the network_DistributedVirtualPortGroup attribute to return an array of DistributedVirtualPortGroup values and matching on vland ID. Can't seem to get it to work.

See if this helps: input is "cluster" (VC:ClusterComputeResource)

var dvPortGroups = cluster.network_DistributedVirtualPortgroup;
System.debug("DVPortgroups: "+dvPortGroups.length);
for each (pg in dvPortGroups){
    System.debug("PG Name: "+pg.name);
    System.debug(pg.config.defaultPortConfig.vlan);
    if(pg.config.defaultPortConfig.vlan instanceof VcVmwareDistributedVirtualSwitchVlanIdSpec){
        System.debug("VLAN: "+ pg.config.defaultPortConfig.vlan.vlanId);
    }
    System.debug("dvSwitch: "+pg.config.distributedVirtualSwitch.name);
}

thanks Burke, once again you were great help. I modified your code little to handle our specific environment. I pass in a number input for the vlanID and match on the dvPG.name to get me the value I need. I then place the value in an output parameter VC:DistributedVirtualPortgroup called networks to use in my subsequent cloning workflow.

var dvPortGroups = cluster.network_DistributedVirtualPortgroup;  
//System.debug("DVPortgroups: "+dvPortGroups.length);  
for each (pg in dvPortGroups){
   if (pg.name.match(vlanID)) {
          networks_str = pg.name;
          networks = pg; 
   }  
}  
System.log("This is the value for dvPG resource:" + networks);
