#get_all_vm_objects(opts = {}) ⇒ Array<RbVmomi::VIM::ObjectContent>

Retrieves all the VM objects and returns their ObjectContents Note that since it’s a ObjectContent coming back, the individual object’s [] will return only the properties you asked for and ‘#obj` will return the actual object (but make a call to the server) param [Array<String>] properties to retrieve

Returns:

  • (Array<RbVmomi::VIM::ObjectContent>)
