Vcenter Host APIs
The Host service provides operations to manage hosts in the vCenter Server.
Operations
POST
Connect Host
Connect to the host corresponding to host previously added to the vCenter server.
POST
Create Host
Add a new standalone host in the vCenter inventory. The newly connected host will be in connected state. The vCenter Server will verify the SSL certificate before adding the host to its inventory. In the case where the SSL certificate cannot be verified because the Certificate Authority is not recognized or the certificate is self signed, the vCenter Server will fall back to thumbprint verification mode as defined by Host.CreateSpec.ThumbprintVerification.
GET
List Host
Returns information about at most 2500 visible (subject to permission checks) hosts in vCenter matching the Host.FilterSpec.
DELETE
Delete Host
Remove a standalone host from the vCenter Server.
POST
Disconnect Host
Disconnect the host corresponding to host from the vCenter server
