How to get list of VMs in datastore for QA testing

I'm trying to setup a automated QA testing (currently using Cruise Control.NET)

From within a VM on ESX 4.1 how can I get a list of all the VMs in a resource pool (or folder) ?

Hello.

Note: This discussion was moved from the VMware ESXi 4 community to the Automation Tools community.

Good Luck!

PowerCli would be the simplest for this.

VMs on a datastore:

get-datastore <datastorename> | get-vm

VMs in a resource pool

Get-ResourcePool <ResourcePoolName> | get-vm

Simples 🙂

One day I will virtualise myself . . .
