How to strip the resource pool name from 'vim.ResourcePool:resgroup-151'

Question

The data type is <class 'pyVmomi.VmomiSupport.vim.ResourcePool'> and when I return the rp I get 'vim.ResourcePool:resgroup-151' (with the single quote characters there) but are there any methods that can just return the resgroup-151?

Answer 1

return rp.name.

Managed objects can have both properties and operations.

<class 'pyVmomi.VmomiSupport.vim.ResourcePool'> is a managed object and few of it properties are :

summary, owner, alarmActionsEnabled, configIssue, configStatus, customValue, declaredAlarmState, disabledMethod, effectiveRole, name, overallStatus, parent, permission, recentTask, tag, triggeredAlarmState
