Attributes:

Name Type Description
Required
state string State of the vCenter Server Appliance. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

Defines the various states the vCenter Appliance can be in. This enumeration was added in vSphere API 6.7 Value is one of:
NOT_INITIALIZED: The appliance is in the process of being initialized and not ready for configuration. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7
INITIALIZED: The appliance is initialized and ready to be configured. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7
CONFIG_IN_PROGRESS: The appliance is in the process of being configured. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7
QUESTION_RAISED: The deployment script has raised a question and is waiting for an answer to continue with the appliance configuration. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7
FAILED: The appliance configuration has failed. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7
CONFIGURED: The appliance has been configured. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7

description localizable_message Description of the operation associated with the task. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

service string Name of the service containing the operation. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.service. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.service.

operation string Name of the operation associated with the task. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.operation. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.operation.

status string Status of the operation associated with the task. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

Defines the status values that can be reported for an operation. This enumeration was added in vSphere API 6.7 Value is one of:
PENDING: The operation is in pending state. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7
RUNNING: The operation is in progress. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7
BLOCKED: The operation is blocked. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7
SUCCEEDED: The operation completed successfully. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7
FAILED: The operation failed. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7

cancelable boolean Flag to indicate whether or not the operation can be cancelled. The value may change as the operation progresses. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

Optional
progress progress The progress info of the current appliance status. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

Optional. It is only relevant when status has value [RUNNING, BLOCKED, SUCCEEDED, FAILED]. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of #status is one of RUNNING, BLOCKED, SUCCEEDED, or FAILED.

subtask_order string[] The ordered list of subtasks for this deployment operation. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

Optional. Only set when the appliance state is RUNNING_IN_PROGRESS, FAILED, CANCELLED and SUCCEEDED.

subtasks list The map of the deployment subtasks and their status infomation. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

Optional. Only set when the appliance state is RUNNING_IN_PROGRESS, FAILED, CANCELLED and SUCCEEDED.

parent string Parent of the current task. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7

Optional. This field will be unset if the task has no parent.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.cis.task. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.cis.task.

target dynamic_ID Identifier of the target created by the operation or an existing one the operation performed on. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7
