How to get number of VMs under Protected of Tenant view

[donaldli]

In Tenant view of EM Self-Service Portal, under "Protected" section, there is a number of "VMs".
How can Provider get this number using API? It does not matter whether it's Powershell or REST API.
If you want to refer to a support case, here it is "Case #07209257 — How to get number of VMs under Protected of Tenant view".
Thanks!

Hi Donald,

This counter is not available through EM REST API by default, but you can calculate it based on self-service tenant backups that are available in your admin view in Enterprise Manager:

1. Query the list of backups with GET /backups and look for tenant backups with tenant in backup names.
2. Obtain the list of restore points with GET /backups/{ID}/restorePoints.
3. Follow the links to /vmRestorePoints from restore points response model.
4. Obtain vm names and hierarchy object refs with GET /restorePoints/{id}/vmRestorePoints?format=Entity for each of the restore points.
5. Deduplicate VM count obtained.
6. The VM count obtained should be equal to the number shown in "Protected" view of Self-Service portal on tenant's side if you calculated it based on all tenant backups and deduplicated VMs in restore points correctly.

Best regards,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,
Thanks for your reply!

I can get results from /backups/{ID}/restorePoints. But there is no /vmRestorePoints. I searched `vm` in the response and found 0 match.
Attached is one piece of the whole response:

        },

Then I tried the /vAppRestorePoints, the response is empty.

Code: Select all

{"Refs":[]}

Hi Donald,

Looks unexpected, vApp restore point should point to a correct representation of a backed up vApp. I'd suggest to contact our support and share case id here.

Best regards,
