The ID of the virtual machine object in vROPS is resourceID, which is inconsistent with the UUID of the virtual machine in vCenter. Therefore, if you want to match the virtual machine in vROPS with the virtual machine in vCenter, you must not rely on the virtual machine name, but must rely on the UUID. .
The following example shows how to get the UUID of a virtual machine in vCenter through the vROPS API
Step 1, obtain vROPS Token
URL: https://vrops.vmware.com/suite-api/api/auth/token/acquire<br>Method: POST<br>Content-Type: application/json<br>Accept: application/json<br>Body: {"username":"admin","password":"VMware1!"}<br>Response:
{
"token": "4971b55f-68aa-47a0-a351-19fa751d59cb::5c1db8e3-90ec-44f4-87f7-ad986f358ca6",
"validity": 1556219805813,
"expiresAt": "Friday, April 26, 2019 3:16:45 AM CST",
"roles": []
}
Step 2, obtain the virtual machine UUID
URL: https://vrops.dev-pso.com/suite-api/api/resources?name=000-001-OS-P003<br>Method: GET<br>Authorization: vRealizeOpsToken {<!-- -->{token}}<br>Accept: application/json<br>Response:
