If you have trouble to understand vSphere API when you first use it, you are definitely not alone. I had the same trouble when I first used it a while back.
Some of the troubles come from the disconnect between conventional programming model and that of vSphere API. In this blog, I summarize the top 5 myths about vSphere API based on my experience and the questions I see in the VMware community forum and vSphere Java API forum:
- Non-existing Managed Objects
- Pervasive PropertyCollector
- Short-Lived Task Object
- “Weak” HostSystem
- “Un-documented” View
Let’s examine each of them one by one.
