Host_Summary
The Host.Summary structure contains commonly used information about a host in vCenter Server.
{
"host": "string",
"name": "string",
"connection_state": "string",
"power_state": "string"
}Identifier of the host. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: HostSystem. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: HostSystem.
Name of the host.
The Host.ConnectionState enumerated type defines the connection status of a host.
CONNECTED : Host is connected to the vCenter Server
DISCONNECTED : Host is disconnected from the vCenter Server
NOT_RESPONDING : VirtualCenter is not receiving heartbeats from the server. The state automatically changes to connected once heartbeats are received again.
The Host.PowerState enumerated type defines the power states of a host.
POWERED_ON : The host is powered on. A host that is entering standby mode is also in this state.
POWERED_OFF : The host was specifically powered off by the user through vCenter server. This state is not a cetain state, because after vCenter server issues the command to power off the host, the host might crash, or kill all the processes but fail to power off.
STANDBY : The host was specifically put in standby mode, either explicitly by the user, or automatically by DPM. This state is not a cetain state, because after VirtualCenter issues the command to put the host in standby state, the host might crash, or kill all the processes but fail to enter standby mode. A host that is exiting standby mode is also in this state.
