Ovf Probe Import Session APIs
The ProbeImportSession service provides operations to dry-run an import of an OVF package without having selected a target. This can be used for querying instantiation parameters such as name and EULA that are not dependent on the target. Parameters that depend on the target such as networks are omitted. Once a target has been chosen, a new session must be created with ImportSession. The probe session cannot be instantiated or altered to refer to a target.
Note: This service is restricted for VMware internal use only.
Operations
POST
Create Probe Import Session Ovf Probe Import Session Internal
Creates a probe import session. This can be used for inspecting various instantiation parameters using ProbeImportSession.try-instantiate. This operation is idempotent. Two calls with the same client token will result in the same session. if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows: - Operation execution requires System.Read. - The resource com.vmware.content.library.Item referenced by the attribute ImportSession.CreateSpec.content-library-item requires System.Read.
DELETE
Delete Id Probe Import Session Internal
Deletes (or cancels) a probe import session. A client should terminate a session to free up resources on the server. A probe session will automatically be reclaimed after a period of inactivity. For example it will only remain in PROBE_IMPORT_ERROR state for a period of time. Deleting an already deleted session has no effect. if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows: - Operation execution requires System.Read. - The resource com.vmware.vcenter.OvfProbeImportSession referenced by the parameter id requires System.Read.
GET
Get Id Probe Import Session Internal
Retrieves a probe import session. if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows: - Operation execution requires System.Read. - The resource com.vmware.vcenter.OvfProbeImportSession referenced by the parameter id requires System.Read.
POST
Try Instantiate Id Internal
When a probe import session is in the PROBE_IMPORT_SELECTING_OVF_PARAMS state, this method returns information about instantiation parameters that can be specified for the probe session. The instantiation parameters returned depend on the choices specified in the instantiation parameters provided as input arguments. This method can be iteratively called with progressively more detailed instantiation parameters. The operation does not change the state of the probe session. The call must supply all instantiation parameters each time. They are not remembered from one invocation to the next. This also means that the operation is naturally idempotent. if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows: - Operation execution requires System.Read. - The resource com.vmware.vcenter.OvfProbeImportSession referenced by the parameter id requires System.Read.
