using onyx code in vCO

[esarakaitis]

So I've written a scriptable task

var vms = new Array();
getVMsOfPool(cluster.resourcePool);
function getVMsOfPool(pool) {
    vms = vms.concat(pool.vm);
    var pools = pool.resourcePool;
    if (pools != null) {
        for (index in pools) {
            if (pools[index] != null)
                getVMsOfPool(pools[index]);
        }
    }
}
System.log(vms)
for (i=0; i<vms.length; i++) {
var spec = System.getModule("com.vmware.onyx").array(VcResourceConfigSpec, 1);
spec[0] = new VcResourceConfigSpec();
spec[0].entity = Server.findForType("VC:VirtualMachine", vms[i].vimHost.id + vms[i]);;
spec[0].cpuAllocation = new VcResourceAllocationInfo();
spec[0].memoryAllocation = new VcResourceAllocationInfo();
spec[0].memoryAllocation.limit = -1;

vms[$i].updateChildResourceConfiguration(spec);  // ResourcePool
}

and the error i get is: Property or method ‘entity’ not found on object

VcResourceConfigSpec

I do have a cluster input of VC Compute cluster type... Do I need to load anything for the onxy code?

Eric, I'm unsure of how/why that is not working because that object does appear to have an entity property when reviewing in the API explorer. Hopefully someone from Engineering can provide a response. Until then, I would try something a little more like this:

var vms = new Array();

getVMsOfPool(cluster.resourcePool);
function getVMsOfPool(pool) {
vms = vms.concat(pool.vm);
var pools = pool.resourcePool;
if (pools != null) {
for (index in pools) {
if (pools[index] != null)
getVMsOfPool(pools[index]);
}
}
}

System.log(vms);

for (i=0; i<vms.length; i++) {
try{
var spec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
spec.cpuAllocation = new VcResourceAllocationInfo();
spec.memoryAllocation = new VcResourceAllocationInfo();
spec.memoryAllocation.limit = -1;
}
catch(ex){
throw "Unable to create VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec: "+ex;
}
// Try to reconfig the vm now:
if(spec instanceof VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec){
task = vms[$i].reconfigVM_Task(spec);
//System.log("Spec: "+spec);
}
}

With the code above, you would set an out parameter for your scriptable task for a "task"object which you would then pass to a "vim3WaitTaskEnd" action.

I hope this helps you along

nice, that works well!

now if i could just figure out the code above
