Hi,
I am using the ESX server 3.0 in a machine and have VM Infrastructure client 2.5 installed in my local windows machine. I was wondering if there is any command line support/interface which i can use. I want to do the following.
1. Login to ESX server via VMI Client, giving user name and password through command line
2.Save the snapshot of VM machine/ Revert the sanpshot of VM using command line.
Can anyone help me out on this please?
There is no VI Client command line skripting. You need to use the VI 2.5 API with the help of ....
VIPerlToolkit -> i would suggest
Programming API -> to much for this...
or connect to the service console with ssh and use commands like vmware-cmd
Regards,
you can use the plink.exe from the putty to login to ESX and executing the command from a remote windows machine.
You can use the vmware-cmd createsnapthot & vmware-cmd revertsnapshot option to accomplish your tasks.
