vsphere.getDatacenter
Explore with Pulumi AI
The vsphere.Datacenter data source can be used to discover the ID of a
vSphere datacenter object. This can then be used with resources or data sources
that require a datacenter, such as the vsphere.Host
data source.
Example Usage
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as vsphere from "@pulumi/vsphere";
const datacenter = vsphere.getDatacenter({
    name: "dc-01",
});
import pulumi
import pulumi_vsphere as vsphere
datacenter = vsphere.get_datacenter(name="dc-01")
package main
import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-vsphere/sdk/v4/go/vsphere"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)
func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := vsphere.LookupDatacenter(ctx, &vsphere.LookupDatacenterArgs{
			Name: pulumi.StringRef("dc-01"),
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})

Using getDatacenter
Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    # arguments dictionaryThe following arguments are supported:
- Name string
 The name of the datacenter. This can be a name or path. Can be omitted if there is only one datacenter in the inventory.
NOTE: When used with an ESXi host, this data source always returns the host's "default" datacenter, which is a special datacenter name unrelated to the datacenters that exist in the vSphere inventory when managed by a vCenter Server instance. Hence, the
nameattribute is completely ignored.
