Managed Object Description

This is the interface for managing the lifecycle of volumes that are consumed by containers or pods, in case of Kubernetes. This managed interface can be accessed through MOID of cns-volume-manager, through vSAN service in vCenter.
Lifecycle of a container volume includes creation, update, query, attach, detach and delete operations. This interface and its related classes are the entry point for Cloud Native Storage (abbreviated to CNS) service.
These requests could come from different container orchestrator clusters running on same vSphere as associated with this VolumeManager. VolumeManager is not aware of presence and topology of container orchestrator clusters, except for the weak association via CnsContainerCluster. This is a weak association because it's client's responsibility to provide unique identity for this container orchestrator cluster. VolumeManager will not impose any uniqueness verification on cluster identification.
Provisioning APIs of this interface return vim.Task which is vCenter Task object to track the progress of operation. In case of either partial or complete success, the state of the task would be set to success. In case of complete failure of the task when the individual specs couldn't be scheduled, the task status would be set to error. The corresponding fault, if any, will be set in the fault field. For a successfully scheduled task, result of this operation will be a list of CnsVolumeOperationResult instances. The client needs to go through the result and check the successful and failed instances.
The Task returned by provisioning APIs is a vim.Task object. Client needs to connect to vim endpoint on vCenter using the latest VSAN VMODL version (not latest VIM version) to monitor task status. After the task is complete, clients can refer to CnsVolumeOperationResult set as result field in task's TaskInfo field.
Please refer to the required privileges in the individual API documentation and ignore the Required Privileges section which is not used.

CnsAttachVolume, CnsConfigureVolumeACLs, CnsCreateVolume, CnsDeleteVolume, CnsDetachVolume, CnsExtendVolume, CnsQueryAsync, CnsQueryVolume, CnsUpdateVolumeMetadata

CnsAttachVolume(attach)

Attaches volumes(block volumes only) to specified VM instances, to make volumes ready for mount and consumption by respective containers.
For each volume in input, this API will attach block backing for this volume to the VirtualMachine specified in input, via one of the available slots on SCSI controller. This API will transparently add new SCSI controller to the VirtualMachine, if needed.
Following privileges will be required on specified entities, to perform this operation:

Datastore.FileManagement on datastores specified in input, required for block volume only
VirtualMachine.Config.AddExistingDisk on VM specified in the input
VirtualMachine.Config.AddRemoveDevice on VM specified in the input

Faults that can be set in individual result entry, corresponding to each VolumeAttachDetachSpec instance in input:

vmodl.fault.InvalidArgument set in case of invalid input arguments, like empty strings, invalid formats, invalid combination of inputs.
vmodl.fault.ManagedObjectNotFound set in case of the VM can not be found.
vim.fault.NotFound set in case of the volume can not be found.
vim.fault.ResourceInUse set when volume has been attached to a VM and is in use, client needs to first detach the volume from that VM and then retry this operation.
vim.fault.CnsFault set in case of any other failure scenario.

CnsQueryAsync(queryAsync)

Returns container volumes matching criteria set in the filter.
This API will not return partial result in case of invalid input, like empty volume ID, volume name fields and so on. In case of valid inputs, e.g. non-empty volume ID, if the output doesn't contain information for that volume that would mean that CNS is not aware of the existence of that volume. Note that there could be duplicate volumes or missing volumes across multiple pages returned by this API when there are parallel volume provisioning operations like create, delete are in progress.
Following privileges will be required on specified entities, to perform this operation:
