Detailed Description

The Com::Vmware::Vcenter::Vm::Hardware::Ethernet interface provides methods* for configuring the virtual Ethernet adapters of a virtual machine. Constant String::RESOURCE_TYPE # Resource type for the virtual Ethernet adapter.

Member Function Documentation

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

(

)

Connects a virtual Ethernet adapter 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::Ethernet.update method may be used to configure the virtual Ethernet adapter 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.
nic	[REQUIRED] Virtual Ethernet adapter identifier. The value must be an identifier for the resource type getQualifiedName(com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Ethernet). . 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 Ethernet adapter is not found.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::AlreadyInDesiredState	if the virtual Ethernet adapter 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::Ethernet::create

(

)

Adds a virtual Ethernet adapter to the virtual machine.

Parameters

vm	[REQUIRED] Virtual machine identifier. The value must be an identifier for the resource type getQualifiedName(VirtualMachine). . The value must be str.

Return values

Virtual

Ethernet adapter identifier. The value will be an identifier for the resource type getQualifiedName(com.vmware.vcenter.vm.hardware.Ethernet). The return type will 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 network backing is not found.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::UnableToAllocateResource	if the virtual machine already has the maximum number of supported Ethernet adapters.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::InvalidArgument	if the specified PCI address is out of bounds, HOST_DEVICE is specified as the type, or a backing cannot be found in the case that backing is left null .
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.
Com::Vmware::Vapi::Std::Errors::Unsupported	if the guest operating system of the virtual machine is not supported and spec includes null fields that default to guest-specific values.

public method Com::Vmware::Vcenter::Vm::Hardware::Ethernet::delete

(

)

Removes a virtual Ethernet adapter from the virtual machine.

Code:

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

(

)

Disconnects a virtual Ethernet adapter 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 Ethernet adapter is not connected to its backing resource.

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