| Published field | USB_group.name_description | a notes field containing human-readable description |
| Published field | USB_group.name_label | a human-readable name |
| Published field | USB_group.other_config | Additional configuration |
| Published field | USB_group.uuid | Unique identifier/object reference |
| Published field | VDI.cbt_enabled | True if changed blocks are tracked for this VDI |
| Published field | VGPU.compatibility_metadata | VGPU metadata to determine whether a VGPU can migrate between two PGPUs |
| Published field | VUSB.USB_group | USB group used by the VUSB |
| Published field | VUSB.VM | VM that owns the VUSB |
| Published field | VUSB.other_config | Additional configuration |
| Published field | VUSB.uuid | Unique identifier/object reference |
| Published field | host.PUSBs | List of physical USBs in the host |
| Published field | network.purpose | Set of purposes for which the server will use this network |
| Published field | pool.igmp_snooping_enabled | true if IGMP snooping is enabled in the pool, false otherwise. |
| Published field | pool_update.enforce_homogeneity | Flag - if true, all hosts in a pool must apply this update |
| Published field | pool_update.other_config | additional configuration |
| Published field | vdi_nbd_server_info.address | An address on which the server can be reached; this can be IPv4, IPv6, or a DNS name. |
| Published field | vdi_nbd_server_info.cert | The TLS certificate of the server |
| Published field | vdi_nbd_server_info.exportname | The exportname to request over NBD. This holds details including an authentication token, so it must be protected appropriately. Clients should regard the exportname as an opaque string or token. |
| Published field | vdi_nbd_server_info.port | The TCP port |
| Published field | vdi_nbd_server_info.subject | For convenience, this redundant field holds a DNS (hostname) subject of the certificate. This can be a wildcard, but only for a certificate that has a wildcard subject and no concrete hostname subjects. |
| Published message | PUSB.scan | |
| Published message | PUSB.set_passthrough_enabled | |
| Published message | USB_group.create | |
| Published message | USB_group.destroy | |
| Published message | VDI.data_destroy | Delete the data of the snapshot VDI, but keep its changed block tracking metadata. When successful, this call changes the type of the VDI to cbt_metadata. This operation is idempotent: calling it on a VDI of type cbt_metadata results in a no-op, and no error will be thrown. |
| Published message | VDI.disable_cbt | Disable changed block tracking for the VDI. This call is only allowed on VDIs that support enabling CBT. It is an idempotent operation - disabling CBT for a VDI for which CBT is not enabled results in a no-op, and no error will be thrown. |
| Published message | VDI.enable_cbt | Enable changed block tracking for the VDI. This call is idempotent - enabling CBT for a VDI for which CBT is already enabled results in a no-op, and no error will be thrown. |
| Published message | VDI.get_nbd_info | Get details specifying how to access this VDI via a Network Block Device server. For each of a set of NBD server addresses on which the VDI is available, the return value set contains a vdi_nbd_server_info object that contains an exportname to request once the NBD connection is established, and connection details for the address. An empty list is returned if there is no network that has a PIF on a host with access to the relevant SR, or if no such network has been assigned an NBD-related purpose in its purpose field. To access the given VDI, any of the vdi_nbd_server_info objects can be used to make a connection to a server, and then the VDI will be available by requesting the exportname. |
| Published message | VDI.list_changed_blocks | Compare two VDIs in 64k block increments and report which blocks differ. This operation is not allowed when vdi_to is attached to a VM. |
| Published message | VM.set_bios_strings | Set custom BIOS strings to this VM. VM will be given a default set of BIOS strings, only some of which can be overridden by the supplied values. Allowed keys are: 'bios-vendor', 'bios-version', 'system-manufacturer', 'system-product-name', 'system-version', 'system-serial-number', 'enclosure-asset-tag', 'baseboard-manufacturer', 'baseboard-product-name', 'baseboard-version', 'baseboard-serial-number', 'baseboard-asset-tag', 'baseboard-location-in-chassis', 'enclosure-asset-tag' |
| Published message | VUSB.create | Create a new VUSB record in the database only |
| Published message | VUSB.destroy | Removes a VUSB record from the database |
| Published message | VUSB.unplug | Unplug the vusb device from the vm. |
| Published message | network.add_purpose | Give a network a new purpose (if not present already) |
| Published message | network.remove_purpose | Remove a purpose from a network (if present) |
| Published message | pool.management_reconfigure | Reconfigure the management network interface for all Hosts in the Pool |
| Published message | pool.set_igmp_snooping_enabled | Enable or disable IGMP Snooping on the pool. |
| Changed message | host.get_server_certificate | Now available to all RBAC roles. |
| Deprecated class | crashdump | |
| Deprecated message | VM.get_boot_record | Use the current VM record/fields instead |
| Removed message | VDI.resize_online | Online VDI resize is not supported by any of the storage backends. |
