RasdItemsList
A RasdItemsList element is a read‐only container for groups of related ovf:Item elements such as hard
disks, network cards, and media devices. Vm elements typically contain several Link elements that reference
elements of this type.
Content-Type application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItemsList+xml
ScreenTicket
A ScreenTicket element contains a string that represents a screen ticket (required to access a virtual
machine's console).
Content-Type application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.screenTicket+xml
TasksList
The TasksList element is a read‐only container for Task elements that represent queued, running, or recently
completed tasks owned by a member of the organization that contains the TasksList.
Content-Type application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.tasksList+xml
Tasks
The Tasks element is a read‐only container for Task elements owned by the containing object. Tasks shown
in this element also appear in the TasksList of the organization that contains the object.
Task
Whenever the result of a request cannot be returned immediately, the server creates a Task object. Tasks
owned by an object such as a vApp or vDC are contained in the Tasks element of the object's XML
representation. Each Task in a Tasks or TasksList element contains all the information about the task. A GET
request to an individual task's href does not return any additional information about the task.
This element is read‐only.
