説明

We have around 1500 VM's perc vCenter and around 10vCenter's globally.

To get the particular VM info, I am doing this and it is taking really a long time.

container = content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(content.rootFolder, [vim.VirtualMachine], True) for c in container.view: if c.name == name: yourvm = c break return yourvm

....... Retrieving the info from the object like before print yourvm.runtime.powerState() .......and more info

Is there anyway to hit the vm directly and get the info without traversing exhaustively ?

調査方針: The issue asks for a faster way to retrieve VM info by name without iterating over all VMs. The solution likely involves using a property collector or search index. Contributors should investigate pyVmomi's built in methods for efficient VM retrieval, such as using the `SearchIndex` or `PropertyCollector` with specific filters. The repository's sample directory may already contain examples; check if any existing sample addresses this. Also, consider that newer versions of pyVmomi might have better performance.
