Shawn Hartsock 15f7be9a52 pyVmomi reStructured Text Documentation
This external documentation for pyVmomi was generated using Googly Docs
(aka Google Standard Documentation) which renders very cleanly in
GitHub. Internal documentation for a class should be done in Sphinx
format because tools like pyCharm and Eclipse can use that documentation
as a hint for code completion.

Note: External docs as Googly Docs, internal docs as Sphinx.

Closes bug#15

vim.host.DnsConfig

This data object type describes the DNS configuration.All IPv4 addresses, subnet addresses, and netmasks are specified using dotted decimal notation. For example, "192.0.2.1". IPv6 addresses are 128-bit addresses represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits. A colon separates each field (:). For example, 2001:DB8:101::230:6eff:fe04:d9ff. The address can also consist of the symbol '::' to represent multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous 0's only once in an address as described in RFC 2373.

vmodl.DynamicData

Attributes:

dhcp (bool):

The flag to indicate whether or not DHCP (dynamic host control protocol) is used to determine DNS configuration automatically.

virtualNicDevice (str, optional):

If DHCP is enabled, the DHCP DNS of the service console network adapter will override the system DNS. This field is ignored if DHCP is disabled by the dhcp property.

hostName (str):

The host name portion of DNS name. For example, "esx01".Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.

domainName (str):

The domain name portion of the DNS name. For example, "vmware.com".Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.

address (str, optional):

The IP addresses of the DNS servers, placed in order of preference.Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.

searchDomain (str, optional):

The domain in which to search for hosts, placed in order of preference.Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.
