pub struct Network { /* private fields */ }Expand description
Represents a network accessible by either hosts or virtual machines.
This can be a physical network or a logical network, such as a VLAN.
Networks are created:
- explicitly when configuring a host.
- automatically when adding a host to VirtualCenter.
- automatically when adding a new virtual machine to a host or to VirtualCenter.
To configure network access for hosts and virtual machines, use DistributedVirtualSwitch and DistributedVirtualPortgroup managed objects.

impl Network
pub fn new(client: Arc<dyn VimClient>, mo_id: &str) -> Self
Sourcepub async fn destroy_task(&self) -> Result<ManagedObjectReference>
pub async fn destroy_task(&self) -> Result<ManagedObjectReference>
Destroys this object, deleting its contents and removing it from its parent folder (if any).
NOTE: The appropriate privilege must be held on the parent of the destroyed entity as well as the entity itself. This method can throw one of several exceptions. The exact set of exceptions depends on the kind of entity that is being removed. See comments for each entity for more information on destroy behavior.
Required privileges: System.Read
§Returns:
This method returns a Task object with which to monitor the operation.
Refers instance of Task.
§Errors:
Failure
Sourcepub async fn destroy_network(&self) -> Result<()>
pub async fn destroy_network(&self) -> Result<()>
Deprecated as of VI API 2.5 do not use this method. This method throws ResourceInUse. Networks are automatically removed when no longer in use, so this method is unnecessary.
Removes a network.
A network can be removed only if it is not used by any host or virtual machine.
Required privileges: Network.Delete
§Errors:
ResourceInUse: if one or more hosts or virtual machines are configured to use the network.
Sourcepub async fn reload(&self) -> Result<()>
pub async fn reload(&self) -> Result<()>
Reload the entity state.
Clients only need to call this method if they changed some external state that affects the service without using the Web service interface to perform the change. For example, hand-editing a virtual machine configuration file affects the configuration of the associated virtual machine but the service managing the virtual machine might not monitor the file for changes. In this case, after such an edit, a client would call “reload” on the associated virtual machine to ensure the service and its clients have current data for the virtual machine.
Required privileges: System.Read
Sourcepub async fn rename_task(
&self,
new_name: &str,
) -> Result<ManagedObjectReference>
pub async fn rename_task( &self, new_name: &str, ) -> Result<ManagedObjectReference>
Renames this managed entity.
Any % (percent) character used in this name parameter must be escaped, unless it is used to start an escape sequence. Clients may also escape any other characters in this name parameter.
See also ManagedEntity.name.
Required privileges: System.Read
§Parameters:
§new_name
§Returns:
This method returns a Task object with which to monitor the operation.
Refers instance of Task.
§Errors:
DuplicateName: If another object in the same folder has the target name.
InvalidName: If the new name is not a valid entity name.
Sourcepub async fn set_custom_value(&self, key: &str, value: &str) -> Result<()>
pub async fn set_custom_value(&self, key: &str, value: &str) -> Result<()>
Assigns a value to a custom field.
The setCustomValue method requires whichever updatePrivilege is defined as one of the CustomFieldDef.fieldInstancePrivileges for the CustomFieldDef whose value is being changed.
§Parameters:
§key
The name of the field whose value is to be updated.
§value
Value to be assigned to the custom field.
Sourcepub async fn alarm_actions_enabled(&self) -> Result<Option<bool>>
pub async fn alarm_actions_enabled(&self) -> Result<Option<bool>>
Whether alarm actions are enabled for this entity.
True if enabled; false otherwise.
Required privileges: System.Read
Sourcepub async fn available_field(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<CustomFieldDef>>>
pub async fn available_field(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<CustomFieldDef>>>
List of custom field definitions that are valid for the object’s type.
The fields are sorted by CustomFieldDef.name.
Required privileges: System.View
Sourcepub async fn config_issue(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<Event>>>
pub async fn config_issue(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<Event>>>
Current configuration issues that have been detected for this entity.
Typically, these issues have already been logged as events. The entity stores these events as long as they are still current. The configStatus property provides an overall status based on these events.
Sourcepub async fn config_status(&self) -> Result<ManagedEntityStatusEnum>
pub async fn config_status(&self) -> Result<ManagedEntityStatusEnum>
The configStatus indicates whether or not the system has detected a configuration issue involving this entity.
For example, it might have detected a duplicate IP address or MAC address, or a host in a cluster might be out of compliance. The meanings of the configStatus values are:
- red: A problem has been detected involving the entity.
- yellow: A problem is about to occur or a transient condition has occurred (For example, reconfigure fail-over policy).
- green: No configuration issues have been detected.
- gray: The configuration status of the entity is not being monitored.
A green status indicates only that a problem has not been detected; it is not a guarantee that the entity is problem-free.
The configIssue property contains a list of the problems that have been detected. In releases after vSphere API 5.0, vSphere Servers might not generate property collector update notifications for this property. To obtain the latest value of the property, you can use PropertyCollector methods RetrievePropertiesEx or WaitForUpdatesEx. If you use the PropertyCollector.WaitForUpdatesEx method, specify an empty string for the version parameter. Any other version value will not produce any property values as no updates are generated.
Sourcepub async fn custom_value(
&self,
) -> Result<Option<Vec<Box<dyn CustomFieldValueTrait>>>>

Similarly, any % (percent) character used in this name element will be escaped, unless it is used to start an escape sequence. A slash is escaped as %2F or %2f. A backslash is escaped as %5C or %5c, and a percent is escaped as %25.
Required privileges: System.View
Sourcepub async fn overall_status(&self) -> Result<ManagedEntityStatusEnum>
pub async fn overall_status(&self) -> Result<ManagedEntityStatusEnum>
General health of this managed entity.
The overall status of the managed entity is computed as the worst status among its alarms and the configuration issues detected on the entity. The status is reported as one of the following values:
- red: The entity has alarms or configuration issues with a red status.
- yellow: The entity does not have alarms or configuration issues with a red status, and has at least one with a yellow status.
- green: The entity does not have alarms or configuration issues with a red or yellow status, and has at least one with a green status.
- gray: All of the entity’s alarms have a gray status and the configuration status of the entity is not being monitored.
In releases after vSphere API 5.0, vSphere Servers might not generate property collector update notifications for this property. To obtain the latest value of the property, you can use PropertyCollector methods RetrievePropertiesEx or WaitForUpdatesEx. If you use the PropertyCollector.WaitForUpdatesEx method, specify an empty string for the version parameter. Any other version value will not produce any property values as no updates are generated.
Sourcepub async fn parent(&self) -> Result<Option<ManagedObjectReference>>
pub async fn parent(&self) -> Result<Option<ManagedObjectReference>>
Parent of this entity.
This value is null for the root object and for VirtualMachine objects that are part of a VirtualApp.
Required privileges: System.View
§Returns:
Refers instance of ManagedEntity.
Sourcepub async fn permission(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<Permission>>>
pub async fn permission(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<Permission>>>
List of permissions defined for this entity.
Sourcepub async fn recent_task(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<ManagedObjectReference>>>
pub async fn recent_task(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<ManagedObjectReference>>>
The set of recent tasks operating on this managed entity.
This is a subset of TaskManager.recentTask belong to this entity. A task in this list could be in one of the four states: pending, running, success or error.
This property can be used to deduce intermediate power states for a virtual machine entity. For example, if the current powerState is “poweredOn” and there is a running task performing the “suspend” operation, then the virtual machine’s intermediate state might be described as “suspending.”
Most tasks (such as power operations) obtain exclusive access to the virtual machine, so it is unusual for this list to contain more than one running task. One exception, however, is the task of cloning a virtual machine. In releases after vSphere API 5.0, vSphere Servers might not generate property collector update notifications for this property. To obtain the latest value of the property, you can use PropertyCollector methods RetrievePropertiesEx or WaitForUpdatesEx. If you use the PropertyCollector.WaitForUpdatesEx method, specify an empty string for the version parameter. Any other version value will not produce any property values as no updates are generated.
§Returns:
Refers instances of Task.
Sourcepub async fn summary(&self) -> Result<Box<dyn NetworkSummaryTrait>>
pub async fn summary(&self) -> Result<Box<dyn NetworkSummaryTrait>>
Properties of a network.
Sourcepub async fn tag(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<Tag>>>

Sourcepub async fn triggered_alarm_state(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<AlarmState>>>
pub async fn triggered_alarm_state(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<AlarmState>>>
A set of alarm states for alarms triggered by this entity or by its descendants.
Triggered alarms are propagated up the inventory hierarchy so that a user can readily tell when a descendant has triggered an alarm. In releases after vSphere API 5.0, vSphere Servers might not generate property collector update notifications for this property. To obtain the latest value of the property, you can use PropertyCollector methods RetrievePropertiesEx or WaitForUpdatesEx. If you use the PropertyCollector.WaitForUpdatesEx method, specify an empty string for the version parameter. Any other version value will not produce any property values as no updates are generated.
