pyvisdk is a pure python library to access the VMware vSphere web services API. Thanks to psphere for giving me some insight into how the API works.
This will be uploaded to the Python Package Index when it becomes more stable, but for now you can download the code from github, then run: $ sudo python ./setup.py install
A more Object Oriented approach to interfacing with the web services API. Knowledge of the inner workings of the API is not needed. Simple and clean interface.
vim = Vim(self.options.server)
vim.login(self.options.username, self.options.password)
vm = self.vim.getVirtualMachine("Linux network test")
# enable Changed Block Tracking. Need a stun cycle after this (i.e. a snapshot)
vm.enableChangedBlockTracking()
snapshot = vm.createSnapshot()
print "Created snapshot: %s" % snapshot.name
# take a look at what we have for drives...
for disk in vm.disks:
log.info("%-15s (%s) %s" % (disk.name, disk.backingType, disk.filename))
vm.removeSnapshot(snapshot)
from pyvisdk.esxcli import Generator, EsxCLI
vim = Vim(self.options.server)
vim.login(self.options.username, self.options.password)
host = self.vim.getHostSystems()[0]
esxcli = EsxCLI(self.vim, host)
esxcli.get('storage.core.adapter').list()
