List VM's and Templates Separately

[Chris]

Hello All!

I am having an issue with a script I have written using the VIPerlToolKit.  When I list the VM's in my inventory using the code below I am getting all VM's and Templates returned as well.  Is there a filter or a different way to query to gain a list of only actual Virtual Machines and not the templates on the system.

    my $vm = Vim::find_entity_views(view_type => "VirtualMachine");
     foreach (@$vm) {
        eval {
            my $vmname = $_->name;
            # Do Some Work Here

        }
    }

Thanks Chris

Sure, you can filter VM (same for every entity type) when you retrieve it.
Here is what you can make to list templates, just switch the "1" to "0" to get all machines.

(damn, you already post there...)

my $vm = Vim::find_entity_views(
   view_type => "VirtualMachine",
   filter => {'config.template' => '1'}
);

foreach (@$vm) {
   eval {
      my $vmname = $_->name;
   }
}
