The
vSphere API Reference Guide contains
definitions of all server-side objects and their properties and methods. You
can therefore use the
vSphere API Reference Guide to identify
the list of parameters and operations that you can use with specific vSphere
SDK for Perl views that you create and manipulate in your code.
Procedure
-
Find the
vSphere API Reference Guide,
available from the VMware APIs and SDKs Documentation page.
-
Click
All Types to see a list
of all managed object types.
-
Find the
ServiceContent object.
ServiceContent provides
access services, such as
PerformanceManager, and to inventory objects,
which allow you to access the entities in the virtual datacenter such as hosts
(HostSystem) and virtual machines
(VirtualMachine).
ServiceContent properties also allow access to
other managed objects, for example:
- The
rootFolder property is a
ManagedObjectReference to a
Folder managed object type.
- The
perfManager property is a
ManagedObjectReference to a specific instance of
a
PerformanceManager managed object type, and so
on.
