Hi,
Im currently making a script using the Python SDK to retrieve a list of VM names + their MAC address. I currently came up with this
17 vm = api.vms.list() 18 19 20 for item in vm: 21 hostname = item.get_name() 22 nic = api.vms.get(name=hostname).nics.list() 23 for net in nic: 24 nicname = net.mac.get_address() 25 print "%s" % hostname 26 print "%s" % nicname
I've noticed that retrieving the nic list during the iteration does a logon each time which slows thing down dramatically. Is there a better way to get the NICs from a list of VMs?

Michael , please elaborate on that
persistent authentication available since 3.1 api, if your backend is 3.1 or higher, sdk will use it by default, otherwise authentication happens peer request.
