Is there a way to get Host from VM?

[viniciusgb4]

Hi,

I'm needing to know which host a VM is. In HostSystem there is a property called vm, but in VirtualMachine there is no a host property. Is there a way to know which host my VM is, from the VM.

Thank you all!

Though there is no direct way, the vmware.log of the VM logs the host the VM starts on (on a power on) and also logs which host it migrates to.

So the start of the log would contain

2013-01-02T15:02:33.787Z| vmx| I120: Hostname=xxxxx

and a migrate would contain

2013-01-02T15:02:34.463Z| vmx| I120: Migrate_Open: Restoring from <IP ADDRESS> with migration id 1357138953

VirtualMachine.VirtualMachineRuntimeInfo.host is a MOR to the relevant Host object.
