Detailed Description

The Com::Vmware::Vcenter::Vm::Hardware::Parallel interface provides methods* for configuring the virtual parallel ports of a virtual machine. Constant String::RESOURCE_TYPE # Resource type for the virtual parallel port.

Member Function Documentation

public method Com::Vmware::Vcenter::Vm::Hardware::Parallel::connect

(

)

Connects a virtual parallel port of a powered-on virtual machine to its backing. Connecting the virtual device makes the backing accessible from the perspective of the guest operating system.

For a powered-off virtual machine, the :func:Com::Vmware::Vcenter::Vm::Hardware::Parallel.update method may be used to configure the virtual parallel port to start in the connected state when the virtual machine is powered on.

Parameters

vm	[REQUIRED] Virtual machine identifier. The value must be an identifier for the resource type getQualifiedName(VirtualMachine). . The value must be str.
port	[REQUIRED] Virtual parallel port identifier. The value must be an identifier for the resource type getQualifiedName(com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.ParallelPort). . The value must be str.

Exceptions

Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::Error	if the system reports an error while responding to the request.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::NotFound	if the virtual machine or virtual parallel port is not found.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::AlreadyInDesiredState	if the virtual parallel port is already connected.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::NotAllowedInCurrentState	if the virtual machine is not powered on.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::ResourceBusy	if the virtual machine is busy performing another operation.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::ResourceInaccessible	if the virtual machine's configuration state cannot be accessed.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::ServiceUnavailable	if the system is unable to communicate with a service to complete the request.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::Unauthenticated	if the user can not be authenticated.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::Unauthorized	if the user doesn't have the required privileges.

Code:

public method Com::Vmware::Vcenter::Vm::Hardware::Parallel::create

(

)

Adds a virtual parallel port to the virtual machine.

Parameters

Code:

public method Com::Vmware::Vcenter::Vm::Hardware::Parallel::disconnect

(

)

Disconnects a virtual parallel port of a powered-on virtual machine from its backing. The virtual device is still present and its backing configuration is unchanged, but from the perspective of the guest operating system, the parallel port is not connected to its backing.

For a powered-off virtual machine, the :func:Com::Vmware::Vcenter::Vm::Hardware::Parallel.update method may be used to configure the virtual parallel port to start in the disconnected state when the virtual machine is powered on.

Parameters

vm	[REQUIRED] Virtual machine identifier. The value must be an identifier for the resource type getQualifiedName(VirtualMachine). . The value must be str.
port	[REQUIRED] Virtual parallel port identifier. The value must be an identifier for the resource type getQualifiedName(com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.ParallelPort). . The value must be str.
