Description
Based on input from here we suspect that the GuestOS list needs to change based on which version of the API we're talking to. There should be a clean and clever way to manage this list.
- The list ostensibly changes based on vSphere API version (growing with each subsequent release)
- The list currently resides in vim.vm.GuestOsDescriptor.GuestOsIdentifier
- From this library we are concerned with it chiefly as a data validation measure since the server will error on an invalid value.
Questions:
- Should we handle this list retroactively?
- Should we merely accept the latest version of the list?
- Can we completely ignore the list at all?
- Can we trap errors for invalid GuestOS identifiers as sent by the server and expose them sensibly instead?
