FolderExternallyManagedFolderType_enum
Supported types of externally managed folder.
NSX Virtual Private Clouds(VPCs) is an abstraction layer that simplifies setting up self-contained virtual private cloud networks within an NSX project to consume networking and security services in a self-service consumption model. It contains multiple subnets which represents an independent layer 2 broadcast domain. vCenter users can manage (create, update, delete) VPC and subnet under VPC_ROOT folder. Requests are forwarded to NSX, and the VPCs and subnets in NSX are realized as VPC and SUBNET folder in vCenter. A project in NSX is analogous to a tenant. NSX user can create VPC, segment, and subnet within a project. These objects are represented as PROJECT, VPC, SEGMENT, and SUBNET folder under PROJECT_ROOT folder.
Possible values:
PROJECT_ROOT: The root folder of PROJECT folders.It is a child of the network folder of a data center and may contain multiple PROJECT folders.
PROJECT: The folder representing a project in NSX.It is a child of the PROJECT_ROOT folder. A project folder can contain multiple VPC, and SEGMENT folders.
VPC_ROOT: The folder containing VPC and subnet that can be managed by vCenter.It is a child of the network folder of a data center. It may contain multiple VPC folders.
VPC: The folder representing a VPC in NSX.It is a child of the VPC_ROOT folder or the PROJECT folder. It may contain multiple SUBNET folders.
SUBNET: The folder representing a subnet in NSX.It is a child of the VPC folder.
SEGMENT: The folder representing a segment in NSX.It is a child of the PROJECT folder.
SUPERVISOR: The folder representing a vSphere IaaS Control Plane Supervisor.It is a VM_TYPE folder and child of vSphere Namespaces Root folder. It may contain multiple namespace associated folder, i.e., folder with namespace property set and vSphere IaaS Control Plane Virtual Machines.
VSPHERE_POD: The folder containing vSphere Pods.It is a child of namespace associated folder, i.e., folder with namespace property set and may contain vSphere Pods.
