Unable to get DatastoreCluster

Akasurde commented 3 years ago

[x] I am using the latest SDK version
[x] This API is compatible with my vCenter version (You can get the info from '__vcenter_version__' in each sample)
[x] I have searched existing issues and Troubleshooting wiki

Environment

sdk package version:
python version:

Python 3.8
vSphere version: v6.7
Operating System/Shell (used to run SDK-based apps): macOS

Steps or code snippet to reproduce

(Pdb) datastore_summaries = client.vcenter.Datastore.list(filter_spec)
/Volumes/data/venv3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:847: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings
  InsecureRequestWarning)
(Pdb) datastore_summaries
[Summary(datastore='datastore-17', name='ds_171_1', type=Type(string='VMFS'), free_space=12486443008, capacity=13421772800), Summary(datastore='datastore-18', name='ds_171_2', type=Type(string='VMFS'), free_space=158336024576, capacity=214479929344), Summary(datastore='datastore-19', name='ds_200', type=Type(string='VMFS'), free_space=194861072384, capacity=214479929344)]

Actual behavior

No API for getting information about datastore cluster

Expected behavior

some API like get, list for getting information about datastore cluster.

This would be very useful

Hey

Is this something that could help?

https://vdc-repo.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/1cd28284-3b72-4885-9e31-d1c6d9e26686/71ef7304-a6c9-43b3-a3cd-868b2c236c81/doc/structures/com/vmware/vcenter/inventory/datastore/svc.info-structure.html

I think you should look for datastore clusters (StoragePod) in inventory/datastore

@Akasurde

Does the above link help?

Akasurde commented 3 years ago

@anusha94 Nope. I tried -

(Pdb) client.vcenter.inventory.Datastore.Info(type='StoragePod')
Info(type='StoragePod')

Even if I pass None it does not do anything

(Pdb) client.vcenter.inventory.Datastore.Info(type='')
Info(type='')
(Pdb) client.vcenter.inventory.Datastore.Info(type=None)
Info(type=None)

Can someone confirm there is no capability to get DatastoreCluster? Or at the very least, determine if a datastore is part of a cluster?

Another nice feature would be the ability to pull the "Related Objects" for a VM via the REST API. 🙏

I believe you are looking this for Storage DRS Cluster (SDRS POD). If yes, this capability is not with this SDK. You may need to use pyVmomi libs for this capability.
