CVcdOrganization signature change

[mwiles]

in 11a, the api to create a new Veeam.Backup.Model.CVcdOrganization has changed, adding the hostID as a new param:

Code: Select all

changed from:
(guid hostid, Veeam.Backup.Model.CVcdRef orgRef, string orgName)
to:
(guid hostid, Veeam.Backup.Model.CVcdRef hostSiteUid, Veeam.Backup.Model.CVcdRef orgRef, string orgName)

I understand that the hostSiteUid is required with the new feature of supporting multiple vcd instances... my question is how can I get or create a well-formed Veeam.Backup.Model.CVcdRef with the correct Uid for this ?

Hi Michael,

Since hostSiteUid is just an uid in urn:vcloud:site:guid format, you could get it either through vCloud Director API with this request or Veeam Powershell Module with the code below:

Code: Select all

$server = Get-VBRServer -Name 'vCDName'
$siteRef = ($server.Info.Options | select-xml -XPath '/root/VcdConnectionOptions/LocalSiteUid').Node.InnerXml

And then make a CVcdRef object out of it:

Code: Select all

[Veeam.Backup.Model.CVcdRef]::Make($siteRef)

Thanks,
Oleg
