Constants

	VSphereFolderTypeVM        = VSphereFolderType("vm")
	VSphereFolderTypeNetwork   = VSphereFolderType("network")
	VSphereFolderTypeHost      = VSphereFolderType("host")
	VSphereFolderTypeDatastore = VSphereFolderType("datastore")

	// VSphereFolderTypeDatacenter is a special folder type - it does not get a
	// root path particle generated for it as it is an integral part of the path
	// generation process, but is defined so that it can be properly referenced
	// and used in validation.
	VSphereFolderTypeDatacenter = VSphereFolderType("datacenter")
)

The following are constants for the 5 vSphere folder types - these are used to help determine base paths and also to validate folder types in the vsphere_folder resource.

const (
	// RootPathParticleVM provides root path parsing functionality for VM paths.
	RootPathParticleVM = RootPathParticle(VSphereFolderTypeVM)

	// RootPathParticleNetwork provides root path parsing functionality for
	// network paths.
	RootPathParticleNetwork = RootPathParticle(VSphereFolderTypeNetwork)

	// RootPathParticleHost provides root path parsing functionality for host and
	// cluster paths.
	RootPathParticleHost = RootPathParticle(VSphereFolderTypeHost)

	// RootPathParticleDatastore provides root path parsing functionality for
	// datastore paths.
	RootPathParticleDatastore = RootPathParticle(VSphereFolderTypeDatastore)
)

Functions

func DatastoreFolderFromObject

func DatastoreFolderFromObject(client *govmomi.Client, obj interface{}, relative string) (*object.Folder, error)

DatastoreFolderFromObject returns an *object.Folder from a given object, and relative datastore folder path. If no such folder is found, of if it is not a datastore folder, an appropriate error will be returned.

func FromAbsolutePath

func FromAbsolutePath(client *govmomi.Client, path string) (*object.Folder, error)

FromAbsolutePath returns an *object.Folder from a given absolute path. If no such folder is found, an appropriate error will be returned.

func FromID

func FromID(client *govmomi.Client, id string) (*object.Folder, error)

FromID locates a Folder by its managed object reference ID.

func FromPath

func FromPath(c *govmomi.Client, p string, ft VSphereFolderType, dc *object.Datacenter) (*object.Folder, error)

FromPath takes a relative folder path, an object type, and an optional supplied datacenter, and returns the respective *object.Folder if it exists.

The datacenter supplied in dc cannot be nil if the folder type supplied by ft is something else other than VSphereFolderTypeDatacenter.

func HasChildren

func HasChildren(f *object.Folder) (bool, error)

HasChildren checks to see if a folder has any child items and returns true if that is the case. This is useful when checking to see if a folder is safe to delete - destroying a folder in vSphere destroys *all* children if at all possible (including removing virtual machines), so extra verification is necessary to prevent accidental removal.

func MoveObjectTo

func MoveObjectTo(ref types.ManagedObjectReference, folder *object.Folder) error

MoveObjectTo moves a object by reference into a folder.

func NormalizePath

func NormalizePath(v interface{}) string

NormalizePath is a SchemaStateFunc that normalizes a folder path.

func ParentFromPath

func ParentFromPath(c *govmomi.Client, p string, ft VSphereFolderType, dc *object.Datacenter) (*object.Folder, error)

ParentFromPath takes a relative object path (usually a folder), an object type, and an optional supplied datacenter, and returns the parent *object.Folder if it exists.

The datacenter supplied in dc cannot be nil if the folder type supplied by ft is something else other than VSphereFolderTypeDatacenter.

func PathIsEmpty

func PathIsEmpty(path string) bool

PathIsEmpty checks a folder path to see if it's "empty" (ie: would resolve to the root inventory path for a given type in a datacenter - "" or "/").

func Properties

func Properties(folder *object.Folder) (*mo.Folder, error)

Properties is a convenience method that wraps fetching the Folder MO from its higher-level object.

func VirtualMachineFolderFromObject

func VirtualMachineFolderFromObject(client *govmomi.Client, obj interface{}, relative string) (*object.Folder, error)

VirtualMachineFolderFromObject returns an *object.Folder from a given object, and relative datastore folder path. If no such folder is found, or if it is not a VM folder, an appropriate error will be returned.

Types

type RootPathParticle

type RootPathParticle VSphereFolderType

RootPathParticle is the section of a vSphere inventory path that denotes a specific kind of inventory item.

func (RootPathParticle) Delimiter

func (p RootPathParticle) Delimiter() string

Delimiter returns the path delimiter for the particle, which is basically just a particle with a leading slash.

func (RootPathParticle) NewRootFromPath

func (p RootPathParticle) NewRootFromPath(inventoryPath string, newParticle RootPathParticle) (string, error)

NewRootFromPath takes the datacenter path for a specific entity, and then appends the new particle supplied.

func (RootPathParticle) PathFromDatacenter

func (p RootPathParticle) PathFromDatacenter(dc *object.Datacenter, relative string) string

PathFromDatacenter returns the combined result of RootFromDatacenter plus a relative path for a given particle and datacenter object.

func (RootPathParticle) PathFromNewRoot

func (p RootPathParticle) PathFromNewRoot(inventoryPath string, newParticle RootPathParticle, relative string) (string, error)

PathFromNewRoot takes the datacenter path for a specific entity, and then appends the new particle supplied with the new relative path.

As an example, consider a supplied host path "/dc1/host/cluster1/esxi1", and a supplied datastore folder relative path of "/foo/bar". This function will split off the datacenter section of the path (/dc1) and combine it with the datastore folder with the proper delimiter. The resulting path will be "/dc1/datastore/foo/bar".

func (RootPathParticle) RootFromDatacenter

func (p RootPathParticle) RootFromDatacenter(dc *object.Datacenter) string

RootFromDatacenter returns the root path for the particle from the given datacenter's inventory path.

func (RootPathParticle) SplitDatacenter

func (p RootPathParticle) SplitDatacenter(inventoryPath string) (string, error)

SplitDatacenter is a convenience method that splits out the datacenter path from the supplied path for the particle.

func (RootPathParticle) SplitRelative

func (p RootPathParticle) SplitRelative(inventoryPath string) (string, error)

SplitRelative is a convenience method that splits out the relative path from the supplied path for the particle.

func (RootPathParticle) SplitRelativeFolder

func (p RootPathParticle) SplitRelativeFolder(inventoryPath string) (string, error)

SplitRelativeFolder is a convenience method that returns the parent folder for the result of SplitRelative on the supplied path.

This is generally useful to get the folder for a managed entity, versus getting a full relative path. If you want that, use SplitRelative instead.

func (RootPathParticle) String

func (p RootPathParticle) String() string

String implements Stringer for RootPathParticle.

type VSphereFolderType

type VSphereFolderType string

VSphereFolderType is an enumeration type for vSphere folder types.

func FindType

func FindType(folder *object.Folder) (VSphereFolderType, error)

FindType returns a proper VSphereFolderType for a folder object by checking its child type.
