Note the id code of your Default data center. This code identifies this data center in relation to other resources of your virtual environment.

The data center also contains a link to the storage domains collection. The data center uses this collection to attach storage domains from the storage domains main collection.

The order of the returned list of data centers is guaranteed only if the sortby clause is included in the search parameter.

Options Hash (opts):

• :case_sensitive (Boolean) —

  Indicates if the search performed using the search parameter should be performed taking case into account. The default value is true, which means that case is taken into account. If you want to search ignoring case set it to false.

• :filter (Boolean) —

  Indicates if the results should be filtered according to the permissions of the user.

• :follow (String) —

  Indicates which inner links should be followed. The objects referenced by these links will be fetched as part of the current request. See here for details.

• :max (Integer) —

  Sets the maximum number of data centers to return. If not specified all the data centers are returned.

• :search (String) —

  A query string used to restrict the returned data centers.

• :headers (Hash) — default: {} —

  Additional HTTP headers.

• :query (Hash) — default: {} —

  Additional URL query parameters.

• :timeout (Integer) — default: nil —

  The timeout for this request, in seconds. If no value is explicitly given then the timeout set globally for the connection will be used.

• :wait (Boolean) — default: true —

  If true wait for the response.
