Copy Files from NFS datatsore to local datatsore using VMWARE API
Hi Experts,
Need to get some help here>
As part of our new requirements, we are mounting our linux machine as NFS datastore on ESXi host. Later on it is needed to move some of the files from the NFS datastore to local datastore by creating a new folder in local datastore.
Can you please let us know whether it is possible to do and how to do ?
Thanks in Advance
Best Regards

Hi Friend,
As we discussed in other discussion, creating NFS datastore using API (using vCenter session ) was successful and it is added on sample exchange: Create NFS Datastore using vSphere API - Samples - VMware Developer Center
I have decided to try to create the same using ESXi server session. I will get back as soon as possible. please stay tuned.
Nonetheless,
You can request any API sample/requirement now on VMware sample exchange here: All Samples - Samples - VMware Developer Center It is one point shop for any API related activity across any product, any SDK

I have modified earlier pointed “CreateNFSDatastore” class to work for both VC and ESXi. And also I have written another class “AddNFSDatastoreinESXi” which will work only for ESXi to add the NFS datastore. Please take a look.
CreateNFSDatastore.java à Now it works for both VC/ESXi to add NFS datastore ,
Usage: CreateNFSDatastore url username password hostip/fqdn
Note:: In ESXi case both url & hostip/fqdn ip should be same.
AddNFSDatastoreinESXi.java à It works only for ESXi to add NFS datastore.
Usage: AddNFSDatastoreinESXi hostname username password
Let us know if you need more help.
