How to query resource pool for replica VM's (full name with suffix)

[paulmcnally]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to use the lookup or query functionality to get a list of VM's in a resource pool.

I believe that veeam creates a resource pool for the hardware plan of the format [Hardware plan]_[Tenant Name] and the replicated VM's appear under that in VMWare, with a customer generated suffix on failover.

I'm trying to get the names of the VM replicas on VMWare in the hardware plan.

If I use lookup:

Code: Select all

/api/lookup?host=urn:veeam:HierarchyRoot:554cac72-2924-4b92-90c5-65a3cdb70086&name=*&type=Vm

This will list all the VM's, and the suffixes (e.g _replica) that I need in order to target the Vm on VMWare.

Code: Select all

+"HierarchyItems": array:1 [▼
    0 => {#312 ▼
      +"ObjectRef": "urn:VMware:Vm:554cac72-2924-4b92-90c5-65a3cdb70086.vm-7396"
      +"ObjectType": "Vm"
      +"ObjectName": "Clifford Home_cockpit-01_replica"
      +"Type": "HierarchyItem"
    }
  ]

What I need to be able to do is say "Give me all VM's in resource pool XYZ"

Please can someone help me generate this query?

Thanks

What if you identify tenant's replica a bit differently? Not by Hardware Plan Resource Pools, but by VM replica names? The approach is described here, might be worth checking. Thanks!

Thank you so much! That worked brilliantly!

All I needed was a wildcard on the tenant name, simple when you know how!

Code: Select all

GET http://localhost:9399/api/lookup?host={hostUID}&name=TenantName_*&type=Vm
