Description
Hi,
I am using SmartConnectNoSSL to connect to my server.
May I use si (service instance) returned in multithreading environment sharing the same instance of si (e.g. may I load metrics from different resources in parallel).
May there be any issues with vSphere API because of the same session parallel calls?
Thanks
