Vcenter Namespaces NamespaceSelfService activateWithTemplate

Vcenter Namespaces NamespaceSelfService activateWithTemplate

Activate Namespace Self Service on the cluster after configuring namespace template. This is another variant of activate except configures template before activation. The template configuration includes either creating a new template or updating the existing template, depending on the template's existence. Here is supported the flow of actions using the activateWithTemplate call: 1. Activate with the new template using activateWithTemplate call. 2. Deactivate using deactivate call. 3. Active with updating the existing template using activateWithTemplate. A Supervisor can be running on one or multiple vSphere Zones, and each vSphere Zone is associated with one or more vSphere Clusters. If a Supervisor running on the specified vSphere Cluster is running on additional vSphere Clusters, this operation will apply to Supervisor components running on the other vSphere Clusters in addition to the specified vSphere Cluster. To call this API on a Supervisor with multiple vSphere Clusters, use com.vmware.vcenter.namespace_management.supervisors.Topology#get to get the vSphere Clusters associated with the given Supervisor. Any cluster from the list returned can be used as the input of this API.

This operation was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

string
template
Required

Identifier of the namespace template that is being activated.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

When clients pass a value of this schema as a parameter, the property must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.namespaces.NamespaceTemplate. When operations return a value of this schema as a response, the property will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vcenter.namespaces.NamespaceTemplate.

array of object
permissions
Required

Namespace Self Service permission to subjects.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

object
resource_spec
Required

Resource quotas that the template defines. Resource quota on the namespace. Refer to Vcenter NamespaceManagement NamespaceResourceOptions Info.create_resource_quota_type and use GET /vcenter/namespace-management/clusters/{cluster}/workload-resource-options for retrieving the type for the value for this field. For an example of this, see Vcenter Namespaces ResourceQuotaOptionsV1.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

array of object
storage_specs
Required

Storage associated with the self service namespace.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

array of string
networks
Optional

vSphere Namespaces network objects to be associated with the namespace. The values of this list need to reference names of pre-existing Vcenter NamespaceManagement Networks Info schemas.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.00100.

The field must be left missing or null if the cluster hosting the namespace uses NSXT_CONTAINER_PLUGIN as the network provider, since the network(s) for this namespace will be managed by NSX Container Plugin. If field is missing or null when the cluster hosting the namespace uses VSPHERE_NETWORK as its network provider, the namespace will automatically be associated with the cluster's Supervisor Primary Workload Network. The field currently accepts at most only 1 vSphere Namespaces network object reference.

When clients pass a value of this schema as a parameter, the property must contain identifiers for the resource type: ClusterComputeResource. When operations return a value of this schema as a response, the property will contain identifiers for the resource type: ClusterComputeResource.

vm_service_spec
Optional

VM Service specification to be associated with the namespace template. Namespaces created using this template will have access to the virtual machine classes and Content Libraries specified in this {ActivateTemplateSpec#vmServiceSpec} by default.

This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.3.2.

If missing or null, the namespaces created using this template will not have access to any virtual machine classes, and to any Content Libraries by default unless Content Libraries are specified in the {ActivateTemplateSpec#contentLibraries}.

array of object
content_libraries
Optional

Content Library specifications to be associated with the namespace template. Namespaces created using this template will have access to the Content Libraries specified in this {ActivateTemplateSpec#contentLibraries} by default.

This property was added in vSphere API 8.0.2.0.

If missing or null, the namespaces created using this template will not have access to any Content Libraries by default unless Content Libraries are specified in the {ActivateTemplateSpec#vmServiceSpec}.

Authentication
This operation uses the following authentication methods.
Responses
204

Success!

Operation doesn't return any data structure

400

Vapi Std Errors AlreadyExists if the cluster already has Namespace Self Service activated.

Vapi Std Errors InvalidArgument if spec contain any errors.

Vapi Std Errors NotAllowedInCurrentState if the service is marked for deactivation or the associated cluster is being disabled.

Returns Vapi Std Errors Error of type(s) application/json
"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.

if the user can not be authenticated.

Returns Vapi Std Errors Unauthenticated of type(s) application/json
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.
