vim.dvs.DistributedVirtualPort
==============================
The `DistributedVirtualPort`_ data object represents a port in a `DistributedVirtualSwitch`_ . Virtual ports are part of a distributed virtual portgroup. Servers create virtual ports according to the portgroup type ( `DistributedVirtualPortgroup`_ . `config`_ . `type`_ ). See `DistributedVirtualPortgroupPortgroupType`_ .
* To configure host network access by port, set the distributed virtual port in the host virtual NIC specification (
* `HostVirtualNicSpec`_
* .
* `distributedVirtualPort`_
* .
* `portKey`_
* ).
* To configure virtual machine network access by port, set the port in the virtual Ethernet card backing (
* `VirtualEthernetCard`_
* .
* `backing`_
* .
* `port`_
* .
* `portKey`_
* ).
:extends: vmodl.DynamicData_
:since: `vSphere API 4.0`_
Attributes:
key (`str`_):
Port key.
config (`vim.dvs.DistributedVirtualPort.ConfigInfo`_):
Port configuration, including identifying information, network settings, and the set of entities that can connect to the port.
dvsUuid (`str`_):
UUID of the `DistributedVirtualSwitch`_ to which the port belongs.
portgroupKey (`str`_, optional):
Key of the portgroup `DistributedVirtualPortgroup`_ to which the port belongs, if any.
proxyHost (`vim.HostSystem`_, optional):
`HostSystem`_ that services this port.
connectee (`vim.dvs.PortConnectee`_, optional):
Entity that connects to the port.
conflict (`bool`_):
Specifies whether the port is a conflict port. A port could be marked as conflict if an entity is discovered connecting to a port that is already occupied, or if the host creates a port without conferring with vCenter Server.The distributed virtual switch does not persist the runtime state of a conflict port. Also, the port cannot move away from the host. vCenter Server will not move a virtual machine (VMotion) that is using a conflict port.
conflictPortKey (`str`_, optional):
If the port is marked conflict in the case of two entities connecting to the same port (see `conflict`_ ), this is the key of the port which the connected entity is contending for.
state (`vim.dvs.DistributedVirtualPort.State`_, optional):
Runtime state of the port.
connectionCookie (`int`_, optional):
Cookie representing the current instance of association between a port and a virtual or physical NIC. See `DistributedVirtualSwitchPortConnection`_ . The same cookie is present in the physical or virtual NIC configuration ( `DistributedVirtualSwitchPortConnection`_ . `connectionCookie`_ ) so that the Server can verify that the entity is the rightful connectee of the port.
lastStatusChange (`datetime`_):
The last time the `state`_ . `runtimeInfo`_ value was changed.
hostLocalPort (`bool`_, optional):
Specifies whether the port is a host local port. A host local port is created to resurrect the management network connection on a VMkernel virtual NIC. You cannot use vCenter Server to reconfigure this port and you cannot reassign the port.
