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?
