Research direction
The issue requests a code sample to demonstrate finding and attaching a Physical Network Interface (PIF) to a Virtual Machine using pyVmomi, and querying VIF and PIF together. The repository is vmware/pyvmomi community samples, which contains community contributed pyVmomi samples. No existing work or linked PRs were found. A contributor should examine the existing samples for patterns and implement a sample that uses pyVmomi to interact with vSphere networking objects, likely involving the use of the vim.Network and vim.VirtualMachine APIs.
