Automate VM Creation in VMWARE Vcentere
Posted: Tue Jun 13, 2017 2:07 am
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
