govmomi virtual machine linux

[feiqipengcheng]

Do I want to obtain detailed partition information of a virtual machine (including the disk and partition name) through govmomi? If there is no corresponding interface, can Linux instructions be executed on the virtual machine through govmomi?

API provides GuestDiskInfo, but that doesn't have all partition details.

But you can use GuestOperationsManager to run commands in guest and transfer files in+out. There is a higher-level "toolbox" API around this in govmomi, see example:

govmomi/guest/toolbox/example_test.go

Lines 48 to 59 in 46c15fb

	tools, err := toolbox.NewClient(ctx, c, vm, &types.NamePasswordAuthentication{
	Username: "user",
	Password: "pass",
	})
	cmd := &exec.Cmd{
	Path: "uname",
	Stdout: os.Stdout,
	Stderr: os.Stderr,
	}
	return tools.Run(ctx, cmd)
