5. vCenter Datacenter APIs

数据中心服务（Datacenter service）提供管理 vCenter Server 中数据中心的操作。

操作

• Create Datacenter：在 vCenter 清单中创建一个新的数据中心。
• List Datacenter：返回有关 vCenter 中最多 1000 个可见数据中心的信息。
• Get Datacenter：检索有关数据中心对应的数据中心的信息。
• Delete Datacenter：从 vCenter Server 中删除空数据中心。

5.1 Create Datacenter

关键方法：

Datacenter.create(spec)


spec是DatacenterCreateSpec，创建新数据中心有2个必填参数：

• folder：类型为数据中心的文件夹ID（Floder ID ），该值每个vCenter中都会有一个，通过List Floder方法查看。
• name：新数据中心名。

在 vCenter 清单中创建一个新的数据中心。

脚本：

import time
from vSphere_Automation_SDK.Connect_to_vCenter_Server import vsphere_client
spec ={
	"folder": "group-d1",        #通过list folder查询Type为Datacenters的folder ID
	"name": "DC3"
}
start_time = time.time()
try:
    create_dc = vsphere_client.vcenter.Datacenter.create(spec)
    print("Created successfully！")
except Exception as err:
    for i in err.messages:
        id = i.id,
        default_message = i.default_message
        args = i.args
        params = i.params
        localized = i.localized
    print("\033[1;31m Encountered an error, Please see the following information \033[0m",
          "\n\tError Class:", id,
          "\n\tMessage:", default_message,
          "\n\tArgs:", args,
          "\n\tParams:", params,
          "\n\tLocalized:", localized,
          "\nError Data:", err.data,
          "\nError Type:", err.error_type
          )
end_time = time.time()
run_time = end_time - start_time
print("Used Time:".ljust(43), run_time)

在vSphere Client中可以看到有任务在执行。

5.2 List Datacenter

关键方法：

Datacenter.list()


返回有关 vCenter 中最多 1000 个可见（受权限检查）数据中心的信息（可以获取DC ID）。

脚本：

import time
from vSphere_Automation_SDK.Connect_to_vCenter_Server import vsphere_client
print("Datacenter ID".ljust(35),"Name")
start_time = time.time()
try:
    list_dc = vsphere_client.vcenter.Datacenter.list()
    if list_dc == []:
        print("---------Empty---------")
    else:
        for i in list_dc:
            print(i.datacenter.ljust(34),
                  i.name)
    print("-----------End-----------")
except Exception as err:
    for i in err.messages:
        id = i.id,
        default_message = i.default_message
        args = i.args
        params = i.params
        localized = i.localized
    print("\033[1;31m Encountered an error, Please see the following information \033[0m",
          "\n\tError Class:", id,
          "\n\tMessage:", default_message,
          "\n\tArgs:", args,
          "\n\tParams:", params,
          "\n\tLocalized:", localized,
          "\nError Data:", err.data,
          "\nError Type:", err.error_type
          )
end_time = time.time()
run_time = end_time - start_time
print("Used Time:".ljust(37), run_time)

5.3 Get Datacenter

关键方法：

Datacenter.get("DC-ID")


检索有关数据中心对应的数据中心的信息。可以获得以下ID，DC-ID通过List DC获得：

• Datacenter Folder
• Host Folder
• Network Folder
• VM Folder

脚本：

import time
from vSphere_Automation_SDK.Connect_to_vCenter_Server import vsphere_client

start_time = time.time()
try:
    get_dc = vsphere_client.vcenter.Datacenter.get("datacenter-3")
    print("Name:".ljust(35),get_dc.name,
          "\nDatacenter Folder:".ljust(30),get_dc.datastore_folder,
          "\nHost Folder:".ljust(34),get_dc.host_folder,
          "\nNetwork Folder:".ljust(31),get_dc.network_folder,
          "\nVM Folder:".ljust(34),get_dc.vm_folder)

except Exception as err:
    for i in err.messages:
        id = i.id,
        default_message = i.default_message
        args = i.args
        params = i.params
        localized = i.localized
    print("\033[1;31m Encountered an error, Please see the following information \033[0m",
          "\n\tError Class:", id,
          "\n\tMessage:", default_message,
          "\n\tArgs:", args,
          "\n\tParams:", params,
          "\n\tLocalized:", localized,
          "\nError Data:", err.data,
          "\nError Type:", err.error_type
          )
end_time = time.time()
run_time = end_time - start_time
print("Used Time:".ljust(34), run_time)

脚本效果图：

5.4 Delete Datacenter

关键方法：

Datacenter.delete("DC-ID")


从 vCenter Server 中删除空数据中心。DC-ID通过List DC获得。

import time
from vSphere_Automation_SDK.Connect_to_vCenter_Server import vsphere_client

start_time = time.time()
try:
    delete_dc = vsphere_client.vcenter.Datacenter.delete("datacenter-1001")
    print("Deleted successfully！")

except Exception as err:
    for i in err.messages:
        id = i.id,
        default_message = i.default_message
        args = i.args
        params = i.params
        localized = i.localized
    print("\033[1;31m Encountered an error, Please see the following information \033[0m",
          "\n\tError Class:", id,
          "\n\tMessage:", default_message,
          "\n\tArgs:", args,
          "\n\tParams:", params,
          "\n\tLocalized:", localized,
          "\nError Data:", err.data,
          "\nError Type:", err.error_type
          )
end_time = time.time()
run_time = end_time - start_time
print("Used Time:".ljust(43), run_time)

在vSphere Client中可以看到有在执行删除数据中心的任务，此时DC3已经不在清单中。
