Responses
202

An identifier for the task created by this API invocation will be returned. If the non-async version of the operation returns a value, this id can be used with the CIS Get Task operation to fetch that value. The normal description of this operation's return value will follow if one exists.

Returns string of type(s) application/json
Operation doesn't return any data structure

400

com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.invalid_argument : If the credentials provided for authenticating with the active node's management vCenter server are invalid. | com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.unverified_peer : If the SSL certificate of the management vCenter server cannot be validated. The value of the data field of Error will be a structure that contains all the fields defined in CertificateInfo.

array of Std_LocalizableMessage

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

Some operations will not set this field when reporting errors.

Std_Errors_Error_Type
error_type
Optional

Enumeration of all standard errors. Used as discriminator in protocols that have no standard means for transporting the error type, e.g. REST.
