Hi Sams,
Get the vm_view; use Dumper and parse through the xml output. I usually do that way. You get all information. Usually VMware has all the necessary functions/APIs to get all VM info. If you don't know the required API, this method comes in handy.
Example:
my $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views(view_type => 'VirtualMachine', filter => {name => '76-VM0'});
foreach(@$vm_view) {
my $vm_name = $_->summary->config->name;
my $devices =$_->config->hardware->device;
my $uuid =$_->config->instanceUuid;
if($_->config->template) {
print "Yes, It is a template..!!!!!\n";
}
else {
print "No, It is not a template..!!!!!\n"
}
print "===UUID==$uuid===\n";
my $guest_net_info = $_->guest->net;
print "Dumper==" . Dumper($_);
}
Regards,
Pranesh
