com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters.policies.apply_client module

The com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters.policies.apply_client module provides classes to manage policies that affect application of desired state configuration and software for an ESXi cluster.

class com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters.policies.apply_client.Effective(config)

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.stub.VapiInterface

The Effective class provides methods to manage the effective policies that will impact how the software and configuration specification documents are applied to an ESXi cluster.

Parameters

config (vmware.vapi.bindings.stub.StubConfiguration) – Configuration to be used for creating the stub.

class EffectivePolicySpec(failure_action=None, pre_remediation_power_action=None, enable_quick_boot=None, disable_dpm=None, disable_hac=None, evacuate_offline_vms=None, enforce_hcl_validation=None)

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.struct.VapiStruct

The Effective.EffectivePolicySpec class contains attributes that describe the effective policies to be used when the software and configuration specification documents are applied to an ESXi cluster.

Tip

The arguments are used to initialize data attributes with the same names.

Parameters

  • failure_action (Effective.FailureAction) – What action is to be taken if entering maintenance mode fails on a given host of the cluster.

  • pre_remediation_power_action (Effective.EffectivePolicySpec.PreRemediationPowerAction) – Specifies what should be done to the power state of the VM before entering maintenance mode.

  • enable_quick_boot (bool) – Enable Quick Boot during remediation in the cluster.

  • disable_dpm (bool) – Disable DPM on the cluster.

  • disable_hac (bool) – Disable HA Admission control on the cluster.

  • evacuate_offline_vms (bool) – Evacuate powered off/suspended VMs when attempting maintenance mode.

  • enforce_hcl_validation (bool) – Enforce Hcl validation, when applicable, to prevent remediation if hardware compatibility issues are found. This attribute was added in vSphere API 7.0.1.0. This attribute is optional because it was added in a newer version than its parent node.

class PreRemediationPowerAction(string)

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.enum.Enum

The Effective.EffectivePolicySpec.PreRemediationPowerAction class defines the possible actions to be taken, before entering maintenance mode.

Note

This class represents an enumerated type in the interface language definition. The class contains class attributes which represent the values in the current version of the enumerated type. Newer versions of the enumerated type may contain new values. To use new values of the enumerated type in communication with a server that supports the newer version of the API, you instantiate this class. See enumerated type description page.

Parameters

string (str) – String value for the PreRemediationPowerAction instance.

DO_NOT_CHANGE_VMS_POWER_STATE = PreRemediationPowerAction(string='DO_NOT_CHANGE_VMS_POWER_STATE')

Do not change the VM power state

POWER_OFF_VMS = PreRemediationPowerAction(string='POWER_OFF_VMS')

Power off VMs before entering maintenance mode.

SUSPEND_VMS = PreRemediationPowerAction(string='SUSPEND_VMS')

Suspend VMs before entering maintenance mode

SUSPEND_VMS_TO_MEMORY = PreRemediationPowerAction(string='SUSPEND_VMS_TO_MEMORY')

Suspend VMs to Memory before entering maintenance mode. This class attribute was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.0.

class FailureAction(action=None, retry_delay=None, retry_count=None)

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.struct.VapiStruct

The Effective.FailureAction class contains attributes that describe the actions to be taken when entering maintenance mode fails on a single host within the cluster.

Tip

The arguments are used to initialize data attributes with the same names.

Parameters

  • action (Effective.FailureAction.Action) – What action (FAIL, RETRY) is to be taken if entering maintenance mode fails on a single host within the cluster.

  • retry_delay (long) – Time to wait to retry the failed operation in seconds. This attribute is optional and it is only relevant when the value of action is Effective.FailureAction.Action.RETRY.

  • retry_count (long) – Number of times to retry the failed operation. This attribute is optional and it is only relevant when the value of action is Effective.FailureAction.Action.RETRY.

class Action(string)

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.enum.Enum

The Effective.FailureAction.Action class defines the actions to be taken when entering maintenance mode fails on a single host within the cluster.

Note

This class represents an enumerated type in the interface language definition. The class contains class attributes which represent the values in the current version of the enumerated type. Newer versions of the enumerated type may contain new values. To use new values of the enumerated type in communication with a server that supports the newer version of the API, you instantiate this class. See enumerated type description page.

Parameters

string (str) – String value for the Action instance.

FAIL = Action(string='FAIL')

Fail the apply method

RETRY = Action(string='RETRY')

Retry the task Apply.FailureAction#retryCount number of times on the failed host after Apply.FailureAction#retryDelay.

get(cluster)

Returns the effective apply policy based on system defaults and what has been configured for the cluster.

Parameters

cluster (str) – The cluster identifier. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: ClusterComputeResource.

Return type

Effective.EffectivePolicySpec

Returns

The effective policies that impact the apply method on this cluster.

Raise

com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.Error If there is an unknown internal error. The accompanying error message will give more details about the failure.

Raise

com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.NotFound If there is no cluster associated with cluster in the system.

Raise

com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.ServiceUnavailable If the service is not available.

Raise

com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.Unauthenticated if the caller is not authenticated.

Raise

com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.Unauthorized if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows:

  • Method execution requires VcIntegrity.lifecycleSettings.Read.

  • The resource ClusterComputeResource referenced by the parameter cluster requires VcIntegrity.lifecycleSettings.Read.

class com.vmware.esx.settings.clusters.policies.apply_client.StubFactory(stub_config)

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.stub.StubFactoryBase

Initialize StubFactoryBase

Parameters

stub_config (vmware.vapi.bindings.stub.StubConfiguration) – Stub config instance
