Question

我使用某些example code将新磁盘附加到虚拟机，因为我使用pyVmomi创建它。现在我将controllerKey硬编码为200（在我的设置中恰好是一个IDE控制器 - 我不知道这个值在安装过程中是多么一致）。

我想删除硬编码的控制器密钥，让用户至少可以在IDE和SCSI控制器之间进行选择。

有谁知道如何获取有效的VirtualController密钥列表？

对于后人，我使用的示例代码如下：

def create_virtual_disk(capacity, controller_key, unit_number, in_bytes=False):
    """
    :param capacity: Capacity of new disk in Bytes
    :param unit_number: device unit
    :return:
    """
    virtual_disk = vim.vm.device.VirtualDisk()
    if in_bytes:
        virtual_disk.capacityInBytes = capacity
    else:
        virtual_disk.capacityInKB = capacity

    # Verify this.
    virtual_disk.unitNumber = unit_number
    virtual_disk.controllerKey = controller_key

    # backing info
    virtual_disk_backing_info = vim.vm.device.VirtualDisk.FlatVer2BackingInfo()
    virtual_disk_backing_info.diskMode = "persistent"
    virtual_disk_backing_info.thinProvisioned = True

    # assigning backing info to virtual disk device backing
    virtual_disk.backing = virtual_disk_backing_info

    # creating virtualdevice spec and assigning recently created virtual disk
    virtual_disk_spec = vim.vm.device.VirtualDeviceSpec()
    virtual_disk_spec.device = virtual_disk
    virtual_disk_spec.fileOperation = "create"
    virtual_disk_spec.operation = "add"

    return virtual_disk_spec

短篇小说：有关详细信息，请参阅a，b或c。一般的建议是坚持使用a）或controllerKeys的硬编码列表，用于特定的vmware硬件模型，因为它比c）更快（大尺寸响应），而不是实现的喧嚣。

a）从现有设备中找到controllerkey

我们的代码库往往只添加我们的vms中已经存在的设备类型，因此以下代码段对我们来说已经足够了，可能也适合您：

从已有的type==ctrl_type

控制器中获取密钥

def _find_controller(self, ctrl_type, max_devs=None):
        for dev in self._machine._vm.config.hardware.device:
            if isinstance(dev, ctrl_type):
                if not max_devs or len(dev.device) < max_devs:
                    return dev

        raise ControllerNotFoundException(ctrl_type)

一个具体的用例就是添加另一个IDE类型的CDRom（这只会添加到引用的规范中并在以后一次提交）：

def _add_cdrom(self, spec, path):
    spec.device.controllerKey = self._find_controller(vim.vm.device.VirtualIDEController, max_devs=2).key
    dev = VSphereMediaDevice(spec.device, self._machine)
    dev._spec.device.backing = vim.vm.device.VirtualCdrom.IsoBackingInfo()
    dev.mount(path)
    spec.device.backing = dev._spec.device.backing

b）hw版本的有效控制器密钥列表

查看/etc/vmware/hostd/env/vmconfigoption-esx-hw8.xml（esxi，硬件版本8 vms的默认值），其中包含特定vmware硬件版本的所有可用controllerKeys。 controllerKeys对于硬件版本非常一致，但在将来的版本中它总是不太可能发生变化。

<deviceInfo>
  <_type>vim.Description</_type>
  <label>VirtualIDEController 0</label>
  <summary>VirtualIDEController 0</summary>
</deviceInfo>
<key>200</key>

c）通过SOAP列出vmconfigoptions

只要通过vSphere客户端创建新虚拟机，就会执行following SOAP请求。它的响应包含大多数设备的controllerKeys硬件配置文件（win8，win7，winlonghorn，...）。但是，如果由于反应过度而不得不多次这样做，我想这可能有点过头了。

    POST /sdk HTTP/1.1

            </QueryConfigOption>    
        </soap:Body>
    </soap:Envelope>

响应（截断）：
