How to get a list of all Logical Switch ( Wire Network ) on NSX using vRO ?

legioon — Wed, 23 May 2018 07:16:00 GMT

Hi,

I have a lot of logical switch on NSX. Already I am using NSX and vRO with others functions. I can create and delete Logical switch and anything else with vRO. But I need to get a list of all logical switch ( it knowns as wire network on vRO ) Name and ID on nsx. There is no any workflow, action and function about with it. I found some function about Logical Switch list as you can see below. But, it is not working.

Have you ever done something like this before?

Hello,

i just tried to use this function and i completed to get list of Logical switches. Simply use the function with arguments pageSize=9999 and startIndex=0.

  virtualWiresDto = NSXVirtualWireController.getAllWiresV2(connection, 9999, 0);
  var pagingInfo = virtualWiresDto.dataPage.pagingInfo;
  System.debug("pagingInfo.pageSize="+pagingInfo.pageSize);
  System.debug("pagingInfo.startIndex="+pagingInfo.startIndex);
  System.debug("pagingInfo.totalCount="+pagingInfo.totalCount);
  var datas = virtualWiresDto.dataPage.data;
  for each (d in datas){
    System.debug("d="+d);
    System.debug("d.name="+d.name);
  }

hope it will help you and others vro users.

best regards

Hello,

First thank you for this post, I am having the same issue and google does not find much literature on this subject... I think I have the same issue as OP : whatever parameters I use for calling getAllWiresV2 method, I get an error. Meanwhile, other methods (like getSecurityTags) work just fine.

NSXSecurityTagManager.getSecurityTags(NSXEndpoint) => success

NSXVirtualWireController.getAllWiresV2(NSXEndpoint, 9999, 0) => failure

I am using VRO / VRA 7.5.0 and NSX plugin 1.2.0 with NSX-V 6.4.4 build 11197766

Does anyone have any insight on this ?

Looks a lot like it could be related to this kb : After upgrading vRealize Orchestrator to 7.4 or any following version, NSX 6.x plug-in may not work. (55516) | VMware KB

Will try the workaround

The workaround in the KB works on VRA / VRO all in one appliance V7.5.0, hope this saves time to someone someday ^^
