What is the VMware Storage Policy API?

A VMware Storage Policy client uses the Storage Policy API to connect to the Storage Policy Server for the purpose of managing vCenter storage profiles.

For information about how to use the Storage Policy API, see the VMware Storage Policy Programming Guide. For access to the guide, use the link to the vSphere Document Center on the vSphere Web Services SDK Documentation page.

What’s in the SDK Package?

The VMware Storage Policy SDK provides:

  • Sample code that demonstrates how to use the VMware Storage Policy API. See the readme file for the java samples (readme_java) for information about building and using the samples.
  • Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) definitions that describe the API for accessing the VMware Storage Policy Server. The SDK contains the pbmService.wsdl file and the supporting schema files.

  • Shell scripts to run the sample applications.

  • Compiled client-side libraries (pbm.jar, ssoclient.jar, vim25.jar, and various samples .jar files) for testing and development purposes.

The VMware Storage Policy SDK is contained in the SDK\spbm directory in the vSphere Management SDK.
