I found a Python script to list all Vcenter VM attributes, but now I need to register some of attributes into a Python list (or array, dict... ).
But it doesn't works.
My getVminfos.py :
EDIT : the right file :
import argparse
import atexit
import itertools
import unicodedata
import pyVmomi
from pyVmomi import vmodl
from pyVmomi import vim
from pyVim.connect import SmartConnect, Disconnect
def GetArgs():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Process args for retrieving all the Virtual Machines')
parser.add_argument('-s', '--host', required=True, action='store',help='Remote host to connect to')
parser.add_argument('-o', '--port', type=int, default=443, action='store',help='Port to connect on')
parser.add_argument('-u', '--user', required=True, action='store',help='User name to use when connecting to host')
parser.add_argument('-p', '--password', required=False, action='store',help='Password to use when connecting to host')
args = parser.parse_args()
return args
def print_vm_info(virtual_machine):
"""
Print information for a particular virtual machine or recurse into a
folder with depth protection
"""
Ansible_Hosts = []
Ansible_Groups = []
Ansible_Names = []
summary = virtual_machine.summary
print("Name : ", summary.config.name)
print("Template : ", summary.config.template)
#print("Path : ", summary.config.vmPathName)
print"Guest : ", str(unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', summary.config.guestFullName))
#print("Instance UUID : ", summary.config.instanceUuid)
#print("Bios UUID : ", summary.config.uuid)
print"State : ", summary.runtime.powerState
if summary.guest is not None:
ip_address = summary.guest.ipAddress
if ip_address:
Ansible_Hosts.append([ip_address])
print "Ansible_Hosts[1:15]", Ansible_Hosts[1:15]
def main():
args = GetArgs()
try:
si = SmartConnect(host=args.host,user=args.user,pwd=args.password,port=int(args.port))
if not si:
print("Could not connect to the specified host using specified "
"username and password")
return -1
atexit.register(Disconnect, si)
content = si.RetrieveContent() # get root folder
container = content.rootFolder # starting point to look into
viewType = [vim.VirtualMachine] # object types to look for
recursive = True # whether we should look into it recursively
containerView = content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(
container, viewType, recursive)
children = containerView.view
for child in children:
print_vm_info(child)
except vmodl.MethodFault as error:
print("Caught vmodl fault : " + error.msg)
return -1
return 0
# Start program
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Prints works like a charm, but always my lists (Ansible_Hosts, ...) are empty...
