vCloud:GuestOSType - VclGuestOSType()

[Windspirit]

Hi all, how do I set a value for vCloud:GuestOSType ?

I can read all the values, but how can I set the variable so I can create a VM.

I have a Workflow that has vcloud:GuestOSType as input variable. The customer is passing me a string with his PXE image and I need to phrase it to determine what OS he wants.

So I have ATM an Action that has as return a type vcloud:GuestOSType

var myVclGuestOSType = new VclGuestOSType() ;

it allready errors on the VAR with

[2013-08-01 16:33:54.780] [I] Unable to create object : _VclGuestOSType : com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vcloud.model.enumerations.GuestOSType

So Not sure how to do it.

Hello, the following works (NOTE: the string is case sensitive though):

var guestOSType = VclGuestOSType.getObject(guestOSTypeString);

In the above example, "guestOSTypeString" is a string being passed in to the workflow/action ...

rhel3_64Guest -- works, but RHEL3_64GUEST does not..

To get around this, you can use a loop like this:

for each (guestType in VclGuestOSType.values){
    if (guestType.toLowerCase() == guestOSTypeString.toLowerCase()){
        var guestOSType = VclGuestOSType.getObject(guestType);
    }
}
