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.

vim.host.ScsiTopology

This data object type describes the SCSI topology information. The data objects in this data object type model the SCSI storage objects from a topological point of view. The SCSI topological view organizes objects by SCSI interface, which contain targets, which in turn contain logical units.SCSI Topology information is not guaranteed to exhaustively enumerate all storage devices on the system. It only shows storage devices that are actually enumerable form a host bus adapter. This means that only storage devices that are composed from one or more paths, which are in turn provided by a host bus adapter, will appear in this inventory.Storage devices provided by the native multipathing plugin (NMP) will always be represented in this inventory since NMP uses a simple policy to create devices out of the paths it claims.Examples of storage devices that will not appear in this inventory are logical devices that are not formed from directly claiming paths. Specific examples of devices that will not appear in this inventory include a device backed by a ramdisk or formed from a software RAID plugin.Legacy note: In hosts where HostPlugStoreTopology is not defined or does not exist on the HostStorageDeviceInfo object, only native multipathing exists. That means for these hosts, the ScsiTopology object contains the complete set of LUNs and targets available on the host.
