Is there the ability to get the Cloned VM Name from VM details in a Sandbox

[Quali-Community]

Hi,

Im trying to get the VM details of a VM within a running Sandbox, more specifically the Cloned VM name and path. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

Thanks for response. @Kimo Saper I am using ESXI 6.7 and VMWare. Steven Geller we are using the latest Cloudshell.

Im trying to get the Cloned VM path (base Image) from the Reservation using API GetReservationDetails(res_id).ReservationDescription.Resources.VmDetails

I can return CloudProviderFullName but nothing else.

Hi John,

Try:

output = api.GetResourceDetails(deployed_app_name)

And then:

output.VmDetails.InstanceData – VM Instance details (CPU, Memory, Snapshot Name, etc’)

Additional VM details options include:

output.VmDetails.NetworkData – VNIC Info

output.VmDetails.VmCustomParams – Deployment path hidden parameters

output.VMDetails. CloudProviderFullName – Cloud Provider Resource Name

Hi Steven Geller so I've run a pprint(vars(Instance_data)) and get the following output. Instance Data list is empty.

Instance_data = resource_details.VmDetails

pprint(vars(Instance_data))

{'CloudProviderFullName': 'Redacted',
'InstanceData': [,
,
,
,
,
],
'NetworkData': [],
'UID': 'Redacted',
'VmCustomParams': [,
,
,
]}

Hi John,

InstanceData is a list of cloudshell.api.cloudshell_api.VmInstanceParam type objects, each having a .Name and .Value field.

Try this (the full script is attached):

resource_details = api.GetResourceDetails(deployed_app_name)

for instance_detail_item in resource_details.VmDetails.InstanceData :

if instance_detail_item.Value:

print “{0}:{1}”.format(instance_detail_item.Name, instance_detail_item.Value)
