restore a vSphere VM from VBR V13 by its API

[Kevinl]

Hi team,
I would like to restore VM by API implemented by VBR v13, but I can't read its

sourceNetwork

information by vbr api.
And it does't work if i only fill the

targetNetwork

section.
Any approach that can help get the source network filled by VBR API?
Much appreciated if any help.
Kevin

Code: Select all

    "network": {
      "networks": [
        {
          "sourceNetwork": {
            "platform": "VSphere",
            "size": "string",
            "hostName": "string",
            "name": "string",
            "type": "Unknown",
            "objectId": "string",
            "urn": "string",
            "isEnabled": true,
            "metadata": [
              {
                "field": "string",
                "data": "string"
              }
            ]
          },
          "targetNetwork": {
            "platform": "VSphere",
            "size": "string",
            "hostName": "string",
            "name": "string",
            "type": "Unknown",
            "objectId": "string",
            "urn": "string",
            "isEnabled": true,
            "metadata": [
              {
                "field": "string",
                "data": "string"
              }
            ]
          }

Hi Kevinl,

Use the GetInventoryObjects endpoint to return network information from the respective virtualization hosts.

You can include a filter for networks and create two objects (source and target) network for the restore endpoint

Hi david.domask,

Thank you for the quick response.

Here I don't need to specify the exact network associated with the VM in the sourceNetwork section, right?
Can get any vSphere object filled in the sourceNetwork section?
This is where get me confused.

Code: Select all

    "network": {
      "networks": [
        {
          "sourceNetwork": {
            "platform": "VSphere",
            "size": "string",
            "hostName": "string",
            "name": "string",
            "type": "Unknown",
            "objectId": "string",

BTW, do you have complete example that demonstrates how VM restore to Customized location?

Have a good day.

And I can retrieve the inventories, but can't find the exact sourceNetwork that associated with the VM to be restored. I think the sourceNetwork section need to be filled by its accurate network info.
Can you guys please help?
thanks
