Datacenter Query Connection Info
This method provides a way of getting basic information about a host without adding it to a datacenter.
Connection wizards typically use this method to show information about a host so a user can confirm a set of changes before applying them.
Required privileges: System.View
The unique identifier for the managed object to which the method attaches; the serialized managed object reference for a request has the form moType/moId, in this case Datacenter/{moId}.
The vSphere release schema. The current specification covers vSphere 9.0.0.0 APIs.
"QueryConnectionInfoRequestType Object"The target of the query.
The port number of the target host. For ESX 2.x this is the authd port (902 by default). For ESX 3.x and above and for VMware Server hosts this is the https port (443 by default). You can specify -1 to have the vCenter Server try the default ports.
The name of the user.
The password of the user.
The expected SSL thumbprint of the host's certificate.
The expected SSL certificate of the host in PEM format.
This parameter is a fallback to be used when the certificate provided
by the host can not be verified via a trusted CA. A replacement of
sslThumbprint.
Note: sslThumbprint and sslCertificate parameters are
mutually exclusive, and should never be used simultaneously.
Since: vSphere API Release 9.0.0.0
OK
"HostConnectInfo Object"The IP address of the VirtualCenter already managing this host, if any.
If the host is already being managed by a vCenter Server, this property reports true if the host is also part of a vSphere HA enabled cluster.
If this is the case, remove or disconnect the host from this cluster before adding it to another vCenter Server.
Summary information about the host.
The status fields and managed object reference is not set when an object of this type is created. These fields and references are typically set later when these objects are associated with a host.
The list of virtual machines on the host.
Whether or not the host requires a vimAccountName and password to be set in the ConnectSpec.
This is normally only required for VMware Server hosts.
Whether or not the host supports clustering capabilities such as HA or DRS and therefore can be added to a cluster.
If false, the host must be added as a standalone host.
The list of network information for networks configured on this host.
The list of datastores on the host.
License manager information on the host
Host capabilities.
NotSupported: if called directly on a host.
NoHost: if unable to contact the host.
InvalidLogin: if unable to authenticate with the host.
NotSupportedHost: if the software version on the host is not supported.
AlreadyConnected: if the host is already being managed by this server.
HostConnectFault: if an error occurred when querying about a host. Typically, a more specific subclass, such as AlreadyBeingManaged, is thrown.
SSLDisabledFault: if the host has SSL access disabled
SSLVerifyFault: if the host certificate could not be authenticated
InvalidArgument: if both arguments sslThumbprint
and sslCertificate are set, or if only the sslThumbprint
argument is set, but the SHA-1 hashing algorithm is currently disabled
for computing certificate thumbprints.
