I just started to create a script to automatically clone an already created VM template and it works fine so far, but I'm wondering if there is any way to change the RAM of the created machine on the command-line.
#!/bin/bash
#
# Clone from Template
#
# be sure to put "/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library" in your PATH variable
# For this script I created a template manually and installed my ssh public key for root in it.
# If you don't do that you have to enter the root password of the cloned VM at the end of the script.
# Folder holding all VM's, use the full path here, no ~
VMDIR="/Users/matthias/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized"
# Get already created VM's
SOURCE=($(ls -1 "$VMDIR"))
# Default VM to clone
VM="$VMDIR/centos7_template.vmwarevm/centos7_template.vmx"
# Domain
DOMAIN="fritz.box"
if [ -z $SOURCE ]; then
echo "No virtual machine to clone"
exit 1
fi
