Tasks and Scheduled
Tasks
VMware vSphere uses an asynchronous
client-server communication model. Methods that end with _Task are
non-blocking, returning a reference to a
Task
managed object. You can use
Task
and
ViewManager
managed objects to
monitor tasks, cancel certain tasks, and create custom tasks.
If you are using a vCenter Server system, the
ScheduledTaskManager
allows you
to schedule your own tasks for a one-time run or for repeated runs.
