create VM in batch and delete a bunch of VMs

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:51:31 GMT

Someone asked me how to create a batch of VMs using workflows.

As I was working on that workflow, I needed to do some clean ups to delete all the test VMs I was creating. but I found no workflow that takes a bunch of VMs as input (there is one in the library that deletes one VM at a time).

So I wrote a little workflow that deletes VMs in one go.

The workflow lets you specify the prefix of the VMs and how many VMs you want. It then creates the VMs and append them with numbers starting with 1.

Orchestrator with separate database

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:16:08 GMT

I'm wondering if anyone has their vCenter database on SQL 2008 and their Orchestrator database on SQL 2005? I'd like to avoid installing SQL 2005 as much as I can and if there are no issues with VC on SQl 2008 & Orchestrator on SQL 2005 that is the way I will go until VMware gets Orchestrator working on SQL 2008. Thanks for help.
