This directory contains samples for Content Library APIs:

* CRUD operations on a content library                                                                                  - crud/library_crud.py
* Updating content of a content library item                                                                            - contentupdate/content_update.py
* Workflow to deploy an OVF library item to a resource pool                                                             - ovfdeploy/deploy_ovf_template.py
* Workflows to import an OVF package into a content library, and download of an OVF template from a content library     - ovfimport/ovf_import_export.py
* Basic workflow to publish and subscribe content libraries                                                             - publishsubscribe/library_publish_subscribe.py
* Workflow to capture a virtual machine into a content library                                                          - vmcapture/vm_template_capture.py
* Content library ISO item mount and unmount workflow                                                                   - isomount/iso_mount.py

Running the samples

* $ cd /path/to/VMware-vSphere-Automation-SDK-Python-<version>/client/bin
* $ ./run_sample.sh ../samples/src/vsphere/samples/contentlibrary/<sample-dir>/<sample>.py --server <vCenter Server IP> --name <username> --password <password> <additional-sample-parameters>

The additional sample parameters are as follows (all parameters can be displayed for any sample using option --help)

* library_crud.py               --datastorename <datastore-name>
* content_update.py             --datastorename <datastore-name>
* deploy_ovf_template.py        --clustername <cluster-name>  --libitemname <ovf-item-name>
* ovf_import_export.py          --datastorename <datastore-name>
* library_publish_subscribe.py  --datastorename <datastore-name>
* vm_template_capture.py        --datastorename <datastore-name> --vmname <vm-name>
* iso_mount.py                  --datastorename <datastore-name> --vmname <vm-name>
  • Testbed Requirement:
    • 1 vCenter Server
    • 2 ESX hosts
    • 1 datastore
    • Some samples need a VM or an OVF library item created as mentioned above
