Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to write a microservice for vsphere that regulary iterates over all vms an check if disks have an IOPs limit set and NICs have bandwidth limit ... if they don't , i want to set those (disk IOPs based on disk size).

The Problem I have:

  • There seems to be no documentation, only some community snippets
  • There seem to be no community forum or so, only a "nabble" email link that is broken and an IRC chat with no/very few people -> no answers

Where could I get help about how to do such a thing with the python API?

Describe the solution you'd like

Link to some kind of docs or community forum, where you really get help.
I think this should be standard for an enterprise software.

What I mean is: Did you ever have a look at e.g. boto3 (https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/index.html)?
These are docs a developer can really work with. Is there anything similar for pyvmomi?

Research direction

The issue mentions pyvmomi’s Python API, vSphere VM, disk I/O limits, and NIC bandwidth limits, but names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Begin by surveying the existing documentation and community links, then define the documentation scope and an appropriate support channel. Done means developers can find reliable API guidance and a place to ask questions.
