Retrieve all standard
virtual switches
Retrieves all standard virtual switches from a host.
Update port group in
standard virtual switch
Updates the properties of a port group in a standard virtual switch.
Update standard virtual
switch
Updates the properties of a standard virtual switch.
Update VNIC for port
group in standard
virtual switch
Updates a VNIC associated with a port group in a standard virtual switch.
Resource Pool Workflows
With resource pool workows you can create, rename, recongure or delete a resource pool, and get
resource pool information.
Create resource pool
Creates a resource pool with the default CPU and memory allocation values.
To create a resource pool in a cluster, the cluster must have VMware DRS
enabled.
Create resource pool
with specified values
Creates a resource pool with CPU and memory allocation values that you
specify. To create a resource pool in a cluster, the cluster must have VMware
DRS enabled.
Delete resource pool
Deletes a resource pool and waits for the task to complete.
Get resource pool
information
Returns CPU and memory information about a given resource pool.
Reconfigure resource
pool
Recongures CPU and memory allocation conguration for a given resource
pool.
Rename resource pool
Renames a resource pool and waits for the task to complete.
Storage Workflows
With storage workows you can perform storage-related operations.
Add datastore on
iSCSI/FC/local SCSI
Creates a datastore on a Fibre Channel, iSCSI or local SCSI disk. Only disks
that are not currently in use by an existing VMFS are applicable to new
datastore creation. The new datastore allocates the maximum available space
of the specied disk.
Add datastore on NFS
Adds a datastore on an NFS server.
Add iSCSI target
Adds iSCSI targets to a vCenter Server host. The targets can be of the type
Send or Static.
Create VMFS for all
available disks
Creates a VMFS volume for all available disks of a specied host.
Delete datastore
Deletes datastores from a vCenter Server host.
Delete iSCSI target
Deletes already congured iSCSI targets. The targets can be of type Send or
Static.
Disable iSCSI adapter
Disables the software iSCSI adapter of a specied host.
