Source - individual VM size - API

[HalYaman]

Hi All,

Is there a way to get each individual VM size on the job using the API (EM)? (not the total size)

Thanks in advance

Hello,
I would try VCenter APIs for details about VMs

Thanks Hannes

I am not aware of VCenter APIs. Can you please provide some more information which API to use ?

Thanks

Hi,

This information is available in the vSphere documentation.

Thanks

Hi Neeraj,

This info is, indeed, not implemented in EM REST. The closest place I could find where it is supported is in VBR REST. See this reference. Otherwise, as my colleagues suggested above, VCenter API could be the way to go here.

Best regards,
Oleg

Thanks, @HannesK,

I was hoping the Veeam API would provide such info.

Thanks a lot, we will keep digging for the best solution

This forum is proving a life saver for me. Thanks for the help.

I am able to get the VM sizes for VMs included in a backup job, but how to get the size of VM for an agent job ? Also, is there a way to get the NAS size too ?

Thanks in advance
Neeraj

Hi,

I'm afraid this info is not available via EM REST as it is not even in EM UI. Usually would involve adding it there first. However, it makes sense to add such info to VBR REST API as original size is reflected in VBR UI, so noted.

Thanks,
Oleg

Thanks Oleg,

If this is something you/Veeam are looking to add, any ETA?

Thanks
HY.

Can't share any ETA, but we didn't plan this for VBR REST API in v12 as we didn't plan on adding any nas/agent support yet. Nonetheless, I noted it for future releases. Thanks!

Hi @Oleg any update on this request "add VM size within the API" - currently, I'm using VMware connection alongside my code and I wish not to, as i wish to reduce complexity

Hello Hal,
Another good option for this or other requests, is to query upcoming VONE API, that will give you objectrepos, VM sizes and confislg like cpu, etc. Restore points and pretty much all you need to build a portal, as vone looks across all products, VB365, VBR, VBCloud and others. So the effort is less, just querying one API, not different products.

Send me an email and I can send you the json swagger so take a look for vone v12. Jorge.delacruz the rest the usual.

Thanks

Hi Hal,

No changes in this regard. As I mentioned earlier, we didn't plan to add this info in REST APIs in v12.

Best regards,
Oleg
