vmware获取主机、数据中心等对象ManagedObjectReference

在vmware的api中提供以下列表中的对象，称作ManagedObjectReference，包括虚拟机信息、主机、数据中心等等一些信息，我们可以通过vcenter的web api得到。

下面我们来通过它的api获取dc。

List<String> arguments = new List<string>();
arguments.AddRange(
    new string[]{
    "--url", "https://192.168.0.160/sdk",
    "--username", "administrator@vsphere.local", 
    "--password", "P@ssw0rd", 
    //"--datacentername","dc",
    //"--srcname", "", 
    //"--vmname", "",
    //"--hostname","",
    //"--storagename","",
    //"--disksize","",
    //"--privateip","",
    //"--privatesubnetmask", "",
    //"--cpunums","",
    //"--memorymb","",
    "--disablesso", "true",
    "--ignorecert", "true"
});
try
{
    System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

    AppUtil.AppUtil util = AppUtil.AppUtil.initialize("SearchIndex", constructOptions(), arguments.ToArray());
    util.connect();
　　
    ManagedObjectReference hostMor = util._svcUtil.GetDecendentMoRef(null, "HostSystem", "192.168.0.161");
    sb.AppendLine(string.Format("host is {0}<br />", hostMor.Value));
    ManagedObjectReference dcMor = util._svcUtil.getEntityByName("Datacenter", "dc");
    sb.AppendLine(string.Format("dc is {0}<br />", dcMor.Value));

    ManagedObjectReference sMor = new ManagedObjectReference();
    sMor.type = "ServiceInstance";
    sMor.Value = "ServiceInstance";
    VimService service = new VimService();
    service.Url = util.get_option("url");
    service.CookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer();
    ServiceContent sc = service.RetrieveServiceContent(sMor);
    service.Login(sc.sessionManager, util.get_option("username"), util.get_option("password"), null);

    ManagedObjectReference searchMor = sc.searchIndex;
    ManagedObjectReference dcMor2 = service.FindByInventoryPath(searchMor, "dc");
    sb.AppendLine(string.Format("dc2 is {0}<br />", dcMor2.Value));

    util.disConnect();
    service.Dispose();

    Response.Write(sb.ToString());

}
catch (Exception ex) { Response.Write(ex.ToString()); }

上述代码中我们运用了两种不同的代码方式获取数据中心对象，下面是它的运行结果，我们可以看到vcenter在内部用了别称。

在vcenter server中封装了http://ip/sdk的api，开发者可以直接调用。

每个实体下面具有一些属性，文档可以查询Data Object ManagedObjectReference。
