Accessing Datastores

The following diagram illustrates how you can access or specify datastores.
  • Each
    Datacenter
     managed object has a
    datastore
     property that contains an array of datastores.
  • Each
    Datacenter
     managed object has a
    datastoreFolder
     property that is a reference to the folder (or folder hierarchy) that contains the datastores for this datacenter.
  • Each
    Datacenter
     managed object has a
    hostFolder
     property that is a reference to the folder (or folder hierarchy) that contains the compute resources, including hosts and clusters, for this datacenter. Each
    HostSystem
     or
    ComputeResource
     has a
    datastore
     property that is an array of
    Datastore
     managed objects.
