This property was added in vSphere API 8.0.0.1.

missing or null if no recommended image based on latest base image patch or update of the current series is available.

array of object
base_image_explanation_details
Required

Details about why some base images are excluded in latest and current series recommendations. This is not applicable for specified base image recommendations.

This property was added in vSphere API 8.0.0.1.

string As date-time As date-time
check_time
Optional

The most recent timestamp when check for recommended image is launched.

This property was added in vSphere API 8.0.0.1.

missing or null if no recommendation check has ever been launched.

If the host is not a vLCM managed standlone host.

"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.

"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.
