GetPlaceholderDatastores

Gets the list of all configured placeholder datastores.

Synopsis

@optional PlaceholderDatastoreInfo[] getPlaceholderDatastores()

PlaceholderDatastoreInfo has the following fields:


Field	Description
fault	The list of errors for this datastore. If this property is not empty, this datastore can not be used as a placeholder datastore.

PlaceholderDatastoreInfo extends DatastoreInfo. It has the following fields:


Field	Description
key	reference to the actual vim.Datastore object in VC.
capacity	The total capacity of this datastore in bytes.
freeSpace	The amount of free space in bytes available on this datastore.
reservedSpace	The amount of additional storage space in bytes on this datastore that could potentially be used by all virtual machines on this datastore. A non-zero value in this field is associated with virtual machines having Thin Provisioned disks.
type	The type of the file system on this datastore, such as VMFS, NFS or CIFS. @see vim.host.FileSystemVolume#type
@optional ComputeResourceInfo[] visibleTo	The list of hosts and clusters that can access this datastore. If a cluster is included in this list, it means that this datastore is accessible to all hosts in this cluster. In most cases this list can not be empty. The only reason for this field to be optional is to be able to return placeholder datastores that have become invalid because there are no clusters or hosts that can see this datastore. This could happen, for example, if the user were to add a host to a cluster and this host could not see some of the datastores that were previously visible to all hosts in the cluster.

ComputeResourceInfo has the following properties:


Field	Description
key	The reference to the actual `vim.ComputeResource` object in VC. Hosts will be represented by `vim.ComputeResource` with a single `vim.HostSystem` in it. Clusters will be represented by `vim.ClusterComputeResource`.

DatastoreInfo and ComputeResourceInfo extend ObjectInfo which has the following properties:


Field	Description
name	The name of the object.
status	The status of the object, such as green, red or yellow. @see vim.ManagedEntity.Status
