Need to get the list of vm guests using a specific datastore

[packetq]

Hi,

I need to get the list of vm guests that are using a particular datastore. I'm supposed to get back a slice of references to the vm guests. I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to do with those references (ie; access the vm name). I have been looking at the source, but I haven't found anything that sheds any light on this. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Have you looked at using the property collector? See example below, where host.Vm is a slice of references:

govmomi/property/example_test.go

Lines 69 to 70 in de8a56d

	var vms []mo.VirtualMachine
	err = pc.Retrieve(ctx, host.Vm, []string{"name"}, &vms)
