Getting the IP of a VMware ESX host through vijava

Question

I'm trying to get the IP of the hostsystems managed by our vCenter. the host.getName() only returns the DNS name of the host. What might be a way to get the IP address that you get when you ping the given host name?

could you be more specific about the code you used? (viijava property). Have you checked [HostIpConfig](http://vijava.sourceforge.net/vSphereAPIDoc/ver51/ReferenceGuide/) values ? — Dmitry S, Oct 29 '15 at 23:58

For those who still havig this issue, you can get the host public ip using vijava, in this way :

String hostIp = host.getConfig().getNetwork().getVnic()[0].getSpec().getIp().getIpAddress();

Try something like:

host.getConfig().getNetwork().getVnic().spec.getIp().getIpAddress()

I've used something like this earlier and it worked.
