Data Object Description

This data object type encapsulates a typical set of host configuration information that is useful for displaying and configuring a host.

VirtualCenter can retrieve this set of information very efficiently even for a large set of hosts.

Properties

Name Type Description
activeDiagnosticPartition*HostDiagnosticPartition

The diagnostic partition that will be set as the current diagnostic partition on the host.
adminDisabled*xsd:boolean

If the flag is true, the permission on the host has been modified such that only the user account used for VirtualCenter operation have Administrator permission. This flag is result of the operations of DisableAdmin and EnableAdmin.

This flag is supported in VirtualCenter only. The value returned from host should be ignored.
See DisableAdmin

A reference to a managed object on a host.
hyperThread*HostHyperThreadScheduleInfo

If hyperthreading is supported, this is the CPU configuration for optimizing hyperthreading.
ipmi*HostIpmiInfo

IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) info for the host.

Since vSphere API 4.0
localSwapDatastore*ManagedObjectReference
to a Datastore

Datastore visible to this host that may be used to store virtual machine swapfiles, for virtual machines executing on this host. The value of this property is set or unset by invoking UpdateLocalSwapDatastore. The policy for using this datastore is determined by the compute resource configuration's vmSwapPlacement property in concert with each individual virtual machine configuration's swapPlacement property.

Note: Using a host-specific swap location may degrade VMotion performance.

Since VI API 2.5
multipathState*HostMultipathStateInfo

Storage multipath state information.

Since vSphere API 4.0
network*HostNetworkInfo

Network system information.
