Unable to use vCloud Suite SDK for vSphere 5.5 or earlier versions of vSphere

Products

• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

This article provides information about usage of VMware vCloud Suit SDK. vCloud Suite SDK provides API for new features like Content Library and existing features like Tagging which did not support a public API prior to vSphere 6.0. This SDK cannot be used with vSphere 5.5 or earlier versions.

Resolution

The VMware vCloud Suite SDK for Java enables programmatic access to vSphere. Access to capabilities exposed through the vSphere Web Services API is done using the vSphere Management SDK. It includes java libraries for accessing new features like Content Library and existing features like Tagging which did not support a public API prior to vSphere 6.0. The SDK also provides development kit for defining, implementing and exposing new API services (API Extensibility). It contains samples for the features mentioned above including how to interoperate with vSphere APIs. If you want to look at the vSphere Web Services API samples, please refer to the vSphere Management SDK.
