I'm trying to get the vm name and ip from my vsphere server, currently I have only the name of the vm. How to get the ip?
#! /usr/bin/env python
from pyVim.connect import SmartConnect, SmartConnectNoSSL, Disconnect
from pyVmomi import vim
import json
from pyVim.connect import SmartConnect
from pyVmomi import vim
import ssl
# Get all the Vms from vCenter server inventory and print its name
# Below is Python 2.7.x code, which can be easily converted to python 3.x version
s=ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
s.verify_mode=ssl.CERT_NONE
si= SmartConnectNoSSL(host="192.168.1.2", user="[email protected]", pwd="my_pass")
content=si.content
# Method that populates objects of type vimtype
def get_all_objs(content, vimtype):
obj = {}
container = content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(content.rootFolder, vimtype, True)
for managed_object_ref in container.view:
obj.update({managed_object_ref: managed_object_ref.name})
return obj
#Calling above method
getAllVms=get_all_objs(content, [vim.VirtualMachine])
#Iterating each vm object and printing its name
for vm in getAllVms:
print (vm.name)
The IP address information for each VM is located in the GuestInfo object, which would be available at:
vm.guestinfo.ipaddress
Note, the IP address returned is sourced from VMware Tools so make sure those are installed and running.
