Description

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 ?
