Parameters:

  • VM (text box editor type) (type: string): the virtual machine you want to have returned the network adapter properties( Enter the ID of the virtual machine or bind this parameter with the output parameter from Get VM activity).

As mentioned above, the values for all the required parameters can be provided by IN arguments or variables. Below is an example of predefined arguments, ready to be used by the Get Network Adapter Properties activity:

  • .
    The value can also be obtained from activity: Get VM using the following steps:
    • use a Get VM activity to extract the VM ID:

    • bind the obtained VM ID (stored in variable) to the VirtualMachine ID field from Get Network Adapter Properties activity:

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

  • Output  (type: collection<collection<string>>): outputs a collection of Properties and their corresponding values.To use the elements of the collection, use Get Element From Collection activity where the Input Collection parameter should be bind with this parameter.
  • Output Address Type  (type: string): outputs the value of the AddressType property.
  • Output Connected  (type: string): outputs the value of the Connected property.
  • Output Controller key  (type: string): outputs the value of the ControllerKey property.
  • Output Device Name  (type: string): outputs the value of the DeviceName property.
  • Output ID  (type: string): outputs the value of the ID property.
  • Output Key  (type: string): outputs the value of the Key property.
  • Output Label  (type: string): outputs the value of the Label property.
  • Output MAC Address  (type: string): outputs the value of the Mac Address property.
  • Output Network ID  (type: string): outputs the value of the NetworkID property.
  • Output Port Group Key  (type: string): outputs the value of the PortGroupKey property.
  • Output Summary  (type: string): outputs the value of the Summary property.
  • Output Wake On LAN Enabled  (type: string): outputs the value of the WakeOnLanEnabled property.

Parameters:

  • Cluster (text box editor type) (type: string): the name of the Cluster (only necessary if 'Host' parameter is empty).
  • Datacenter Name (text box editor type) (type: string): the Datacenter name.
  • Datastore Name (text box editor type) (type: string): the Datastore name (optional).
  • Host (text box editor type) (type: string): the Host (ip address).

As mentioned above, the values for all the required parameters can be provided by IN arguments or variables. Below is an example of predefined arguments, ready to be used by the Get Network Connections activity:

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

  • Output dvSwitches  (type: collection<collection<string>>): outputs a collection of distributed virtual switch properties and their corresponding values.To use the elements of the collection, use Get Element From Collection activity where the Input Collection parameter should be bind with this parameter.
  • Output Networks  (type:  collection<collection<string>>): outputs a collection of collections containing the Name and ID for each network. To use the elements of the collection, use Get Element From Collection activity where the Input Collection parameter should be bind with this parameter.
  • Output Port Group Keys  (type: collection<string>): outputs a collection of Port Group Keys. To use the elements of the collection, use Get Element From Collection activity where the Input Collection parameter should be bind with this parameter.
  • Output Port Groups  (type:  collection<collection<string>>): outputs a collection of Properties and their corresponding values.To use the elements of the collection, use Get Element From Collection activity where the Input Collection parameter should be bind with this parameter.
