Phython SDK - Get All Virtual machines

Hi ​@Marcel Geisen ,

Kindly refer below two documents which can help fetch the list VM configured on the system.

PowerShell command : https://documentation.commvault.com/11.20/get_cvvirtualmachine.html

Get-CVVirtualMachine [-Name <String>] [-Protected] [-UnProtected] [-IncludeTotalCount] [-Skip <UInt64>] [-First <UInt64>] [<CommonParameters>]

Rest API :  https://documentation.commvault.com/v11/essential/rest_api_get_virtual_machines.html

Hello Pradeep,

thanks for reply, with REST API I know but as I wrote our Dev Team is using the Python SDK and they want to get a VM list via the SDK.

So and there I did not found any modul etc…

Maybe anyone already did it with Python SDK…

Thx & BR

Marcel

Hi ​@Marcel Geisen 

Let me check and update details at the earliest.

​@Marcel Geisen 

Kindly refer below document and module.

https://commvault.github.io/cvpysdk/cvpysdk/client.html#cvpysdk.client.Clients.add_exchange_client

_get_virtualization_clients() -- gets all the virtualization clients associated with the commcell

​@Pradeep thanks for checking again, with get_virtualization_clients you only get the hypervisor objects and not the virtual machines… this we already tested before, because we thought the same as you.

So till now I could not find an easy way to get with Python SDK.

Thx

Hi Marcel,

commcell = cvpysdk.commcell.Commcell('<CS Name>','<UserName>','<Password>',

force_https=True,verify_ssl=False)

client = cvpysdk.clients.vmclient.VMClient(commcell,client_name='<Virtualization Client Name here>')

agent = client.agents.get('Virtual Server')

backupsets = agent.backupsets.get('defaultBackupSet')

Content = cvpysdk.subclients.virtualserver.vmware.VMWareVirtualServerSubclient(backupset_object=backupsets,subclient_name='<Subclient Name>')

print(Content.preview_content())

​

please check if it works
