Data Object Description
Specifies the capabilities of the particular host. This set of capabilities is referenced in other parts of the API specification to indicate under what circumstances an API will throw a NotSupported fault.Properties
| Name | Type | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| accel3dSupported | xsd:boolean | 
         Indicates if 3D hardware acceleration for virtual machines is supported.
      
Since vSphere API Release 5.1 | 
| ahDeviceHintsSupported* | xsd:boolean | 
         Indicates if the host supports Assignable Hardware device hints.
      
Since vSphere API Release 7.0.2.0 |

         Indicates if setting hardwareLabel using PciPassThrough is supported.
      
Since vSphere API Release 7.0.2.0 | 
| backgroundSnapshotsSupported | xsd:boolean | 
         Flag indicating whether background snapshots are supported on this host.
      
Since VI API 2.5 | 
| cloneFromSnapshotSupported | xsd:boolean | 
         Indicates whether or not cloning a virtual machine from a snapshot
 point is allowed.
  
 This property must be true on the host where the virtual machine
 is currently residing.  This property need not be true on the
 destination host for the clone.  | 
| cpuHwMmuSupported* | xsd:boolean | 
         Indicates whether this host supports hardware-based MMU virtualization.
      
Since vSphere API Release 6.5 | 
| cpuMemoryResourceConfigurationSupported | xsd:boolean | 
         Flag indicating whether cpu and memory resource configuration is
 supported. If this is set to false,
 UpdateConfig,
 UpdateChildResourceConfiguration
 cannot be used for changing the cpu/memory resource configurations.
      
Since VI API 2.5 | 
| cryptoSupported* | xsd:boolean | 
         Flag indicating whether Cryptographer feature is supported.

| datastorePrincipalSupported | xsd:boolean | 
         Flag indicating whether datastore principal user

       | 
| deltaDiskBackingsSupported | xsd:boolean | 
         Flag indicating whether explicitly creating arbirary configurations of
  delta disk backings is supported.
   A delta disk backing is a way to preserve a virtual disk backing at some point in time. A delta disk backing is a file backing which in turn points to the original virtual disk backing (the parent). After a delta disk backing is added, all writes go to the delta disk backing. All reads first try the delta disk backing and then try the parent backing if needed. If this property is false, then delta disk backings can only be implicitly created through using snapshot operations and two virtual machines cannot safely share a parent disk backing. If this property is true, then delta disk backings can be explicitly created and managed, and two virtual machines may safely share a parent disk backing. In the context above, "safely" means that performing operations on one of the virtual machines will not affect the operation of the other virtual machine.

 In releases after vSphere API 5.0, vSphere Servers might not
 generate property collector update notifications for this property.
 To obtain the latest value of the property, you can use
 PropertyCollector methods RetrievePropertiesEx or WaitForUpdatesEx.
 If you use the PropertyCollector.WaitForUpdatesEx method, specify
 an empty string for the version parameter.
 Since this property is on a DataObject, an update returned by WaitForUpdatesEx may
 contain values for this property when some other property on the DataObject changes.
 If this update is a result of a call to WaitForUpdatesEx with a non-empty
 version parameter, the value for this property may not be current.
