Replication APIs

Replication APIs

Describes APIs for monitoring and managing virtual machine replication.

Operations

Browse Datastore

Browse the datastore that is defined in the URL by its ID. This API returns files that reside on the given datastore. These files are filtered based on the given search criteria.

Check Storage Policy Compliance

Check datastores for compliance against a given storage policy.

Configure Replication

Configure replication for a virtual machine from a source site to a target vCenter Server site.

Destroy Replication

Delete replication of a VM. The operation deletes the replication only on the local site. Remove the replication configuration first.

Get All Replications

Get a list of all the incoming or outgoing replications from a vCenter Server.

Get Local Vm Disks

Retrieve information about the disks of a VM

Get a list of all VMs on the vCenter Server specified by vCenter Server ID in the URL.

Get Replicated Vm Disks

Retrieve information about the disks of a replicated VM

Get Replication Info

Get information about the replication

Get Replications Count

Get the total number of replications - both incoming and outgoing.

Get Replications Issues

Get a list of all the current issues for all incoming or outgoing replications.

Get Seeds For Disks

Retrieve information about possible seeds for a given set of disks

Get Vc Storage Policies

Retrieve vCenter Server's storage policies

Get Vm Capability

Retrieve VR capability information about a given VM

Get Vr Capable Target Datastores

Retrieve vSphere Replication supported datastores

Pause Replication

Pause the replication for a virtual machine from the source site to a remote vCenter Server site.

Reconfigure Replication

Change the settings of a replication, including reconfiguring a replication on new virtual hard disks and enabling the default seed disk to use a replica disk in the VM folder.

Resume Replication

Resume a paused replication to the target vCenter Server site.

Sync Replication

Sync the latest changes for a virtual machine with a configured replication to the target vCenter Server site.

Unconfigure Replication

Gracefully remove the replication configuration of a VM. If the remote site is not available, use DELETE /replications/{replication_id} to delete the replication from the local site.
