How to bind CloudStack host object with vCenter host

Hello,


Is it possible to bind CloudStack host object provided by CloudStack
API with VMWare host object provided by VMWare API (or MOB)?
Does CloudStack store somewhere "external" UUIDs?

I see that UUIDs are different, only host names are same. But host
name is not unique

CloudStack API:

<host>
        <id>d58bfab1-e169-460f-b98f-c62b8dd9ef60</id>
        <name>some.host.acme.com</name>
        <state>Up</state>
        <type>Routing</type>

VMware:
name string "some.host.acme.com"
uuid string "564d2545-2480-c18b-fced-87cd460dc16b"

Thanks, Igor

Hi Igor,

It's not exposed via the API, but the hosts are linked in the host_details table by guid ( ie HostSystem:host-104@10.2.0.31) which takes its value from the Object ID in vCenter (ie host-104).


Kind regards,

Paul Angus
