Description

accessible

xsd:boolean

The connectivity status of this datastore. If this is set to false, meaning the datastore is not accessible, this datastore's capacity and freespace properties cannot be validated. Furthermore, if this property is set to false, some of the properties in this summary and in DatastoreInfo should not be used. Refer to the documentation for the property of your interest.

capacity

xsd:long

Maximum capacity of this datastore, in bytes. This value is updated periodically by the server. It can be explicitly refreshed with the Refresh operation. This property is guaranteed to be valid only if accessible is true.

datastore*

ManagedObjectReference
to a Datastore

The reference to the managed object.

freeSpace

xsd:long

Available space of this datastore, in bytes. The server periodically updates this value. It can be explicitly refreshed with the Refresh operation. This property is guaranteed to be valid only if accessible is true.

maintenanceMode*

xsd:string

The current maintenance mode state of the datastore. The set of possible values is described in DatastoreSummaryMaintenanceModeState.

Since vSphere API 5.0

multipleHostAccess*

xsd:boolean

More than one host in the datacenter has been configured with access to the datastore. This is only provided by VirtualCenter.

name

xsd:string

The name of the datastore.

type

xsd:string

Type of file system volume, such as VMFS or NFS.
See type

uncommitted*

xsd:long

Total additional storage space, in bytes, potentially used by all virtual machines on this datastore. The server periodically updates this value. It can be explicitly refreshed with the RefreshDatastoreStorageInfo operation. This property is valid only if accessible is true.

Since vSphere API 4.0

url

xsd:string

The unique locator for the datastore. This property is guaranteed to be valid only if accessible is true.
