Esx Settings Clusters Configuration importConfig$Task

This operation is deprecated as of vSphere API 8.0.2.0. Use com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters.configuration.Drafts#Create instead.

This API replaces the existing desired configuration of the cluster with the configuration provided in the input parameter document. The API will internally validate the input configuration against the configuration schema derived from the cluster software specification associated with the cluster. If the input configuration document passes validation, then it will be the desired configuration of the cluster. The result will specify whether the input document was import successfully. The result will also list the validation errors in case the import operation failed.

This operation was added in vSphere API 8.0.1.0.

Returns an authorization error if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows:

Operation execution requires VcIntegrity.ClusterConfiguration.Modify.
The resource ClusterComputeResource referenced by the parameter cluster requires VcIntegrity.ClusterConfiguration.Modify.

This output structure of type com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters.Configuration#ImportResult contains the result of this operation.

This response body class contains all of the following: InlineVapi Std Errors Unauthenticated0

"Vapi Std Errors Unauthenticated Object"

string

challenge

Optional

Indicates the authentication challenges applicable to the target API provider. It can be used by a client to discover the correct authentication scheme to use. The exact syntax of the value is defined by the specific provider, the protocol and authentication schemes used.

For example, a provider using REST may adhere to the WWW-Authenticate HTTP header specification, RFC7235, section 4.1. In this case an example challenge value may be: SIGN realm="27da1358-2ba4-11e9-b210-d663bd873d93",sts="http://vcenter/sso?vsphere.local", Basic realm="vCenter"

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

This property is optional because it was added in a newer version than its parent node.

404

If the cluster is not found in the system.

"Vapi Std Errors Error Object"

array of object

messages

Required

Stack of one or more localizable messages for human error consumers.

The message at the top of the stack (first in the list) describes the error from the perspective of the operation the client invoked.

Each subsequent message in the stack describes the "cause" of the prior message.

object

data

Optional

Data to facilitate clients responding to the operation reporting a standard error to indicating that it was unable to complete successfully.

Operations may provide data that clients can use when responding to errors. Since the data that clients need may be specific to the context of the operation reporting the error, different operations that report the same error may provide different data in the error. The documentation for each each operation will describe what, if any, data it provides for each error it reports.

The Vapi Std Errors ArgumentLocations, Vapi Std Errors FileLocations, and Vapi Std Errors TransientIndication schemas are intended as possible values for this property. Vapi Std DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this property (although that is not its primary purpose). Some resources may provide their own specific schemas for use as the value of this property when reporting errors from their operations.

Some operations will not set this property when reporting errors.

string

error_type

Required

Discriminator field to help API consumers identify the structure type.

For more information see: Vapi Std Errors Error Type.

This property was added in vSphere API 6.7.2.

Can be missing or null for compatibility with preceding implementations.
