Many of you already know there are some changes in the vSphere API from 2.5 to 4.0. The changes include 20+ new managed object types, additional properties (including sub-properties that embedded inside the first level properties), and several inheritance structure changes.
Several managed objects like Datastore became the subtype of ManagedEntity in vSphere 4, which is different from the hierarchy in 2.5 where it’s a subtype of ExtensibleManagedObject. The changes came for good reasons – we want permission control over these managed objects.
