Automate VM Creation in VMWARE Vcentere

Post by ipdenwa »

Hi guys,

This is a question on VMWare Vcenter.

just a bit of feasibility advice before I spend dev time on this ... I'm trying to automate a process whereby I get some variables from a MYSQL DB (such as name, type etc) and then start cloning through the GUI of VCenter a certain VM and then creating a new one. The task will choose the correct storage, etc and then clone it. Once done, it will setup some network parameters etc on the newly created VM (most likely a Windows based one).

I'm not a big scripter in VMWare but a programmer by trade so I was thinking if this was done by someone somewhere who can share their experience.

Thanks
Oleg

To get some data from database use Dataset Loop
Even if you need to retrieve only one record from database.

How to clone VM....
I'm afraid that you have to create this part yourself, because nobody know details and your environment better than you.
