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.VFlashManager

The VFlash Manager object is used to configure vFlash resource and vFlash cache on the ESX host.

since

vSphere API 5.5

Attributes

vFlashConfigInfo (vim.host.VFlashManager.VFlashConfigInfo):

Host vFlash configuration information.

Methods

ConfigureVFlashResourceEx(devicePath):

Configure vFlash resource on a list of SSD disks. If the host does not have a VFFS volume, host will format the volume first and then extend the volume on the rest of the SSDs; otherwise host will extend the existing VFFS volume on the passed SSDs. Finally host will configure the vFlash resource on the VFFS volume.It will return HostVFlashResourceConfigurationResult describing success or failure associated with each device.

Privilege:

Host.Config.Storage

Args:
devicePath (str, optional):

An array of device path names that identify disks. See ScsiDisk .

Returns:

vim.Task:

Raises:

vim.fault.HostConfigFault:

if batch operation fails on the host. Because the returned VFlashResourceConfigurationResult contains the configuration success or fault for each device, as of vSphere API 5.x, we won't throw fault when batch operation fails.

HostConfigureVFlashResource(spec):

Configure vFlash resource on the host by attaching to a backend VFFS volume.

Privilege:

Args:
spec (vim.host.VFlashManager.VFlashResourceConfigSpec):

the vFlash resource specification.

Returns:

None

Raises:

vim.fault.HostConfigFault:

If vFlash resource cannot be configured on the host

vim.fault.ResourceInUse:

The contained VFFS volume is being used.

HostRemoveVFlashResource():

Privilege:

Args:

Returns:

None

Raises:

vim.fault.NotFound:

If vFlash resource is not configured or the contained VFFS volume cannot be found on the host.

vim.fault.HostConfigFault:

If vFlash resource or the contained VFFS volume cannot be removed from the host.

vim.fault.ResourceInUse:

The contained VFFS volume is being used.

HostConfigVFlashCache(spec):
