listing all VMs for a given network

[rakesh-p]

Hi,
Is it not possible to use this python SDK to list VMs belonging to a particular network? It is possible in the vsphere web interface.
I checked https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/vsphere/8.0.0.0/com.vmware.html#com.vmware.vcenter_client.VM.list and the filterspec (https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/vsphere/8.0.0.0/com.vmware.html#com.vmware.vcenter_client.VM.FilterSpec) and there is no filter to specify the network. Any help/pointers here is appreciated. thanks

Hi @rakesh-p
The rest API does not have the network filter type, nor has the API which lists the VM within a given Network. Instead you can use the vim API for this
