I have a script that looks at each VM object's
config.extraConfig\["tools.syncTime"] value to see if guest time
synchronization has been enabled. The MOB says that this property value is a 'string' type.
In alpha2, this property returned the string value "true" or "false"
In alpha5 the string is (mistakenly?) converted to a 0 or 1.
Beta is even worse as sometime the value is showing as a string and other times is an int.
foreach my $vm (@$vm_views) {
print "$vm->\{name}\n";
$i++;
foreach my $extraConfig (@\{$vm->->\{extraConfig}}) {
next unless $extraConfig->\{key} eq "tools.syncTime";
print "$extraConfig->\{key}: ";
print "$extraConfig->\{value}\n";
if($extraConfig->\{value} =~ /true/i) {
$status = "ENABLED";
$enabled++;
} else {
$status = "DISABLED";
$disabled++;
}
}
print "Time Sync is $status for $vm->\{name}\n";
}
