vCO - get all clusters in a datacenter

[stangrig]

Do you know how I can get a list of all Clusters that are in a certain Datacenter?

Thanks in advance

VcPlugin.getAllClusterComputeResources() .  You can add an XPath query as a filtering mechanism or loop through the results and see if the datacenter matches what you are looking for.

This scriptable task code can do that...

Input: datacenter (VC:Datacenter)

Output: clusters (Array/VC:ClusterComputeResource)

Script:

var clusters = new Array;
var folder = datacenter.hostFolder;
var children = folder.childEntity;
for each (child in children){
    if (child instanceof VcClusterComputeResource){
        clusters.push(child);
        System.debug("Cluster added: "+child.name);
    }
}

If the above code is to be used in an action rather than a scriptable task, just add the following as the first line (helpful when used in Presentation settings:

if(datacenter == null) return null;

And this to the last line:

return clusters;

Perfect! Just missing return

var clusters = new Array; 

var folder = datacenter.hostFolder; 

var children = folder.childEntity; 

for each (child in children){ 

    if (child instanceof VcClusterComputeResource){ 

        clusters.push(child); 

        System.debug("Cluster added: "+child.name); 

    } 

} 

return clusters

Show off!

Hi,

late but...here is a function that recursively searches (if there are more folders in between the Cluster and the Datacenter)

function getChildren(folder){
    for each (child in folder.childEntity){ 
        if (child instanceof VcClusterComputeResource){ 
            output.push(child);             
            System.debug("Cluster added: "+child.name); 
        } 
        if (child instanceof VcFolder){
            System.debug("found folder "+child.name);
            getChildren(child);
        }
    }
    return output;
}   
if (datacenter){
    var output = new Array; 
    return getChildren(datacenter.hostFolder);
} else {
    throw ("no Datacenter provided");
}
