Source - individual VM size - API
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

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

Re: Source - individual VM size - API
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

Re: Source - individual VM size - API
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

Re: Source - individual VM size - API
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!
