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.VirtualMachine.ConnectionState
|
|
==================================
|
|
The connectivity state of a virtual machine. When the API is provided directly by a server product, such as ESX Server, then the disconnected state is not possible. However, when accessed through VirtualCenter, the state of a virtual machine is set to disconnected if the hosts that manage the virtual machine becomes unavailable.

values:
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
inaccessible
|
|
One or more of the virtual machine configuration files are inaccessible. For example, this can be due to transient disk failures. In this case, no configuration can be returned for a virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
connected
|
|
The server has access to the virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
disconnected
|
|
The server is currently disconnected from the virtual machine, since its host is disconnected. See general comment for this enumerated type for more details.
|
|
|
|
invalid
|
|
The virtual machine configuration format is invalid. Thus, it is accessible on disk, but corrupted in a way that does not allow the server to read the content. In this case, no configuration can be returned for a virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
orphaned
|
|
The virtual machine is no longer registered on the host it is associated with. For example, a virtual machine that is unregistered or deleted directly on a host managed by VirtualCenter shows up in this state.
