I am trying to retrieve all VM templates that exist within the vCenter Server.
Assuming that I am using the following code:
var VcVirtualMachine_Array = Server.findAllForType("VC:VirtualMachine",XPath_query);
what should be the XPath_query value ?
I already tried the following methods:
var XPath_query = "xpath:isTemplate='true'";
var XPath_query = "xpath:config.template[contains(.,'true')]";
var XPath_query = "xpath://config/template[@name='template' and @type='true']";
also , according to the following link:
https://www.vmware.com/support/orchestrator/doc/vro-vsphere60-api/html/VirtualMachine.html
the Finder type: VC:VirtualMachine
has a Property named isTemplate
but I am not able to filter the output using this type of Property.
what is the way to filter using XPath a nested attribute ?
because the object it's self has an attribute named: config.template
but all of them were not helping to achieve what I am looking to retrieve as already filtered output.
thank in advanced for the assistance
