Where is VMX path in vsphere-automation-sdk-python?

[tristanself2]

Hi,

I've been trying to find where the VMX path is in the vSphere Automation SDK for Python, but as yet I have been unable to find it. The documentation does not specify that it is possible to obtain this path about a Virtual Machine.

I can pull out all sorts of attributes about a VM, including its disks, and was expecting the VMX Config File path to be listed, but its not.

Does anyone know if its there?

 

Thanks

Tristan

You'll need to use the vSphere (SOAP) API which should be part of the Automation SDK, but its not part of the REST API. You can find the various configuration files under https://vdc-repo.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/c476b64b-c93c-4b21-9d76-be14da0148f9/04ca12ad-59b9-4e1c-8232-fd3d4276e52c/SDK/vsphere-ws/docs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.FileLayoutEx.html
