The following table describes the response elements.

Adapter response elements for the Retrieve Datacenters operation

Element	Definition
<datastore>	A collection of references to the datastore objects available in the datacenter
<hostFolder>	The folder hierarchy that contains the compute resources, including hosts and clusters, for the datacenter
<network>	A collection of references to the network objects available in this datacenter
<vmFolder>	The folder hierarchy that contains the virtual machines and templates for the datacenter
<effectiveRole>	Access rights of the current session to the datacenter
<permission>	List of permissions defined for the datacenter
<overallStatus>	The general health of the datacenter. The value combines the status of all the alarms attached to a datacenter. If any of the alarms have a gray status, the overall status of the datacenter is gray. If any of the alarms have a red status, the overall status of the datacenter is red. If any of the alarms have a yellow status, the overall status of the datacenter is yellow. Otherwise, the overall status of the datacenter is green.
