vim.dvs.EntityBackup.Config
===========================
The `EntityBackupConfig`_ data object contains `VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch`_ or `DistributedVirtualPortgroup`_ backup configuration data produced by the `DVSManagerExportEntity_Task`_ method. It also contains properties that support `DVSManagerImportEntity_Task`_ operations.A `DVSManagerExportEntity_Task`_ operation sets properties that identify the entity instance ( `entityType`_ , `key`_ , and `name`_ ) and inventory location ( `container`_ ). When you import a backup configuration, you can set thekey,name, andcontainerproperties in accordance with theimportTypespecified in the call to `DVSManagerImportEntity_Task`_ . See `EntityImportType`_ .
:extends: vmodl.DynamicData_
:since: `vSphere API 5.1`_
Attributes:
entityType (`str`_):
Type of the exported entity ( `DVSManagerExportEntity_Task`_ ). See `EntityType`_ for valid values.
configBlob (`base64`_):
Opaque blob that contains the configuration of the entity.
key (`str`_, optional):
Unique identifier of the exported entity or the entity to be restored through an import operation.
* If you are importing a virtual distributed switch and the import type is
* `applyToEntitySpecified`_
* , set the
* key
* to
* `DistributedVirtualSwitch`_
* .
* `uuid`_
* .
* If you are importing a virtual distributed portgroup and the import type is
* `applyToEntitySpecified`_
* , set the
* key
* to
* `DistributedVirtualPortgroup`_
* .
* `key`_
* .The Server ignores the key value when the import operation creates a new entity.
name (`str`_, optional):
Name of the exported entity or the entity to be restored with the backup configuration. If you are importing an entity and the import type is `applyToEntitySpecified`_ , the Server will use this value to rename the existing entity.
container (`vim.ManagedEntity`_, optional):
Container for this entity. If `entityType`_ is "distributedVirtualSwitch", the container type is `Folder`_ . If `entityType`_ is "distributedVirtualPortgroup", the container type is `DistributedVirtualSwitch`_ .
configVersion (`str`_, optional):
Configuration version.
