PyVmomi 初体验

  做为一个VMware的员工，一直用命令行操做，终于被迫须要使用pyvmomi了，体验了一下，文档不多，摸索起来略有费劲儿 ，赶忙把心得记录下来。

1. PyVmomi能够在esxi host上面直接用，也能够在任何的linux系统上用，远程链接到VC或者host上进行操做。

2. 若是要操做vDS Swtich，必需要链接到VC上进行建立，不然在host上直接操做会失败，并在hostd.log里产生以下的异常：

2018-02-27T06:45:07.442Z verbose hostd[1001392607] [Originator@6876 sub=PropertyProvider opID=9c8882ef user=root] [RecordAndNotifyChangeInt] No listeners on haTask-ha-folder-network-vim.Folder.createDistributedVirtualSwitch-2021163135 - bailing out

2018-02-27T06:45:07.443Z info hostd[1001392607] [Originator@6876 sub=Default opID=9c8882ef user=root] AdapterServer caught exception: N5Vmomi5Fault12NotSupported9ExceptionE(Message is: ,
--> Fault cause: vmodl.fault.NotSupported
--> Fault Messages are:
--> (null)
--> )

3. 经过linux VM 链接到VC，建立vDS Switch的代码:

两个经常使用到的函数写在最前面

 

def wait_for_task(task, actionName='job', hideResult=False):
   """
   Waits and provides updates on a vSphere task
   """
   while task.info.state == vim.TaskInfo.State.running:
   time.sleep(2)
   if task.info.state == vim.TaskInfo.State.success:
      if task.info.result is not None and not hideResult:
         out = '%s completed successfully, result: %s' % (actionName, task.info.result)
         print (out)
      else:
         out = '%s completed successfully.' % actionName
         print (out)
   else:
      out = '%s did not complete successfully: %s' % (actionName, task.info.error)
      raise task.info.error
      print (out)
   return task.info.result

def get_obj(content, vimtype, name):
   """
   Get the vsphere object associated with a given text name
   """ 
   obj = None
   container = content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(content.rootFolder, vimtype, True)
   for c in container.view:
      if c.name == name:
         obj = c
      break
   return obj

si = pyVim.connect.SmartConnect(host=<vc_ip>, user=<username>, pwd=<pwd>, port=int("443"),sslContext=context)

content = si.RetrieveContent()

root = content.rootFolder

dc = root.childEntity

if not dc:  //若是是第一次链接VC，并无建立datastore，则须要建立一个心得datastore。

    dc1 = root.CreateDatacenter('dc1')

else:

    dc1 = dc[0]

#链接esxi host并把host 添加到datastore中

spec = vim.host.ConnectSpec(force=True, hostName=<host>, userName=xxx, password=xxx, password='ca$hc0w', sslThumbprint=None)

task = dc1.hostFolder.AddStandaloneHost(spec=spec, addConnected=True)

#第一次添加胡遇到sslException，须要从新添加一下.

至此已经成功的建立了vds switch到esxi host上了。

在host上用命令行查看  esxcfg-vswitch -l:

DVS Name Num Ports Used Ports Configured Ports MTU Uplinks
vds111 3236 3 512 1500 vmnic4

DVPort ID In Use Client
0 1 vmnic4

但能够发现，DVPort ID 并非我给出的uplink0, 并且并无vm的portid建立出来。待续。
