Data Object Description

This data object type encapsulates a typical set of host configuration information that is useful for displaying and configuring a host.

VirtualCenter can retrieve this set of information very efficiently even for a large set of hosts.

Properties

Name Type Description
activeDiagnosticPartition*HostDiagnosticPartition

The diagnostic partition that will be set as the current diagnostic partition on the host.
adminDisabled*xsd:boolean

Deprecated. As of vSphere API 6.0, use lockdownMode.

If the flag is true, the permissions on the host have been modified such that it is only accessible through local console or an authorized centralized management application. This flag is affected by the EnterLockdownMode and ExitLockdownMode operations.

This flag is supported in VirtualCenter only. The value returned from host should be ignored.
