"host_mo_ref.config.storageDevice.plugStoreTopology.device.lun" returns nil about rbvmomi HOT 7 OPEN

Go to https:///mob and browse through there to find the same thing. Does it show up there?

from rbvmomi.

yes, on mob web page I can find values which failed to be returned by rbvmomi, e.g. for host_mo_ref.config.storageDevice.plugStoreTopology.device.lun, mob page presents the key of mapped lun object but rbvmomi returns nil

from rbvmomi.

Is this value one that was introduced in a later API version, like ESX 5.0 or 5.1? If so, you need to make rbvmomi connect with that API revision.

from rbvmomi.

yes, this is included by vSphere 5.0 Management SDK. Would you please help provide guidance about how to make rbvmomi connect with right API revision?

from rbvmomi.

When you connect, you can set :rev. After connect, you can do "conn.rev = ". Set it to 5.0. I believe RVC has the nice code to negotiate the highest possible version with the server.

Thanks for the help. Progress has been made on reachable of deep object but can not get any of its properties. below is my code and returns:
plug_devices = host_mo_ref.config.storageDevice.plugStoreTopology.device
puts "plug_devices lun is #{plug_devices[0][:lun].inspect}"

return:
plug_devices lun is #<RbVmomi::VIM::ScsiLun:0x23a3df8 @props={:dynamicProperty=>[], :descriptor=>[], :alternateName=>[], :standardInquiry=>[], :operationalState=>[]}>

looking forward to further comments. Thanks.

@Cindia-blue Hey, I just started maintaining this project and noticed this issue is almost 4 years old. Is this still something you'd like me to look into or is this ok to close?
