Description

Sample values

<server-name>

Specifies the management server to be used for managing the virtual clusters and hosts 

MICRO-CSM-VC01.bmc.com 

<cluster-name>

Specifies the cluster, whose virtual hosts are to be searched

field-cluster 

Response from VMware_Integration module

XML sample for configuring the response

 <total-cpus>4</total-cpus>
 <switches>
<switch>
 <switch-name>vSwitch0</switch-name>
 <switch-type>EXTERNAL_CLOUD_SIMULATED_SWITCH</switch-type>
</switch>
 </switches>
</virtual-host>
 </virtual-hosts>

All of the following node elements are required for configuring the response:

<total-memory>

Specifies the total memory, in MB, of all hosts within the virtual cluster

32755

<cpu-clock-speed>

Specifies the speed of the CPU cores, in MHz 

2400

<total-cpus>

Specifies the total number of CPU resources of all hosts

4

<switches>

Defines the switches within the cluster

None

<switch>

Represents one switch entry

None

<switch-name>

Specifies the name of the switch
