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.profile.host.AnswerFile
|
|
===========================
|
|
The `AnswerFile`_ data object contains host-specific information that a host will use in combination with a `HostProfile`_ for configuration. Answer files are stored on the vCenter Server, along with host profiles. An answer file is always associated with a particular host.To supply host-specific data:
|
|
* Specify deferred parameters when you call the
|
|
* `HostProfile`_
|
|
* .
|
|
* `ExecuteHostProfile`_
|
|
* method. The host profile engine will verify the set of parameters for the additional configuration data.
|
|
* Use the complete required input list (
|
|
* `ProfileExecuteResult`_
|
|
* .
|
|
* `requireInput`_
|
|
* []) as user input for the
|
|
* `HostProfileManager`_
|
|
* .
|
|
* `ApplyHostConfig_Task`_
|
|
* method. When you apply the profile, the vCenter Server saves the additional configuration data in the
|
|
* `userInput`_
|
|
* list.
|
|
* Use the
|
|
* `HostProfileManager`_
|
|
* .
|
|
* `UpdateAnswerFile_Task`_
|
|
* method. This method will update an existing answer file or create a new one.
