Vcenter Host Entropy External Pool APIs

• Vcenter Host Entropy External Pool

The Vcenter Host Entropy ExternalPool resource provides operations to send entropy data and query external entropy pool information on an ESX host. Clients can check the entropy level of an ESX host using the GET /vcenter/host/{host}/entropy/external-pool operation to check Vcenter Host Entropy ExternalPool Info. When the entropy level has dropped below a threshold, a client can use the POST /vcenter/host/{host}/entropy/external-pool?action=add operation to add additional entropy until as required.

This resource was added in vSphere API 8.0.1.0.
