Scripting administrative tasks
The VMware Infrastructure Toolkit, or VI Toolkit, integrates with Microsoft PowerShell to provide easier scripting to VMware admins. Previously, scripting for VMware was done primarily with the SDK, which had a learning curve that some administrators may not have had the time for. For the VMware administrator, PowerShell scripting translates to easier scripting – which means easier task automation and overall VMware infrastructure management.
For example, did you know that you can script the entire creation of a guest OS, and have new guest OSes created by the script in less than 10 minutes? You can also create scripts that take snapshots of all guest OSes on a host server, manage virtual machine hot backups and recovery, or that instruct one VMware ESX server to fail over to another.
This section offers pointers and tutorials on VMware scripting, and some tips explaining how individual scripts work to execute the task at hand.
