SearchIndexLast Updated December 19, 2024
The
SearchIndex
managed object
provides a set of methods to retrieve references to managed objects in the
vSphere inventory. You can search by managed objects inventory path, IP
address, datastore path, DNS name, and various other identifying attributes.
For example, if you know the IP
address of a virtual machine, you can obtain its managed object reference by
using the
SearchIndex.FindByIp
method. You
can use
SearchIndex
to obtain the
reference to a server object, and then use that reference as the starting
object for property collection. See the sample applications
SearchIndex.java
and
SearchIndex.cs
for more
information about using
SearchIndex
. See the
vSphere API Reference
for more
information about
SearchIndex
methods.
