Delete Existing VM and Create New

[gaurang033]

Hi Guys,

Is there any way to delete the existing VM from ESX and Create New one programmatically. I will be using Linux (Centos) as the operating system.

I have read some articles and blog about the VMware API, but there are lots of different API, would someone guide me which one I need to download ?

Do i need to install any other software apart from this API ?

Create

vSphere PowerCLI: Create a Virtual Machine

VMware vSphere 5.1

Re: Create VM using PowerCLI and csv file
