Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
force | xsd:boolean |
If this flag is set to "true", then the connection succeeds even
if the host is already being managed by another VirtualCenter server.
The original VirtualCenter server loses connection to the host.
|
hostGateway* | HostGatewaySpec |
Setting for a gateway for communication to the host. If set all trafic to the
host will pass through this gateway.
Since vSphere API 6.0 |
hostName* | xsd:string |
The DNS name or IP address of the host. (Required for adding
a host.)
|
lockdownMode* | HostLockdownMode |
If this is set then the host will be put in the specified lockdown mode
when the host is added and connected.
It is used only when calling the APIs AddStandaloneHost_Task with parameter 'addConnected' set to true, or AddHost_Task with parameter 'asConnected' set to true. If the operation to add the host specifies that the host should only be added but not connected, then the host won't be put in lockdown mode. This is equivalent to invoking ChangeLockdownMode immediately after addition and connection to the host succeeds. If equal to vim.host.HostAccessManager.LockdownMode#lockdownDisabled then it is ignored. Since vSphere API 6.0 |
managementIp* | xsd:string |
The IP address of the VirtualCenter server that will manage this host.
This field can be used to control which IP address the VirtualCenter agent
will send heartbeats to. If it is not set, VirtualCenter will use the local IP
address used when communicating with the host. Setting this field is useful
when the VirtualCenter server is behind a NAT in which case the external NAT
address must be used.
Since vSphere API 4.0 |
password* | xsd:string |
The password for the administration account. (Required for adding
a host.)
|
port* | xsd:int |
The port number for the connection. If this is not specified,
the default port number is used. For ESX 2.x hosts this is the authd
port (902 by default). For ESX 3.x and above and VMware Server hosts
this is the https port (443 by default).
If this is a reconnect, the port number is unchanged.
|
sslThumbprint* | xsd:string |
The thumbprint of the SSL certificate, which the host is
expected to have. If this value is set and matches the
certificate thumbprint presented by the host, then the host is
authenticated. If this value is not set or does not match the
certificate thumbprint presented by the host, then the host's
certificate is verified by checking whether it was signed by a
recognized CA.
The thumbprint is always computed using the SHA1 hash and is the string representation of that hash in the format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where, 'x' represents a hexadecimal digit Since VI API 2.5 |
userName* | xsd:string |
The administration account on the host. (Required for adding
a host.)
|
vimAccountName* | xsd:string |
The username to be used for accessing the virtual
machine files on the disk.
|
vimAccountPassword* | xsd:string |
The password to be used with the
vimAccountName
property for accessing the virtual
machine files on the disk.
|
vmFolder* | ManagedObjectReference
to a Folder |
The folder in which to store the existing virtual machines on the host.
If this folder is not specified, a default folder is chosen
(and possibly created) by the VirtualCenter. This folder exists (or
is possibly created) on the
VirtualCenter server and is called "Discovered VM".
