Working with the
AnswerVM API
The AnswerVM API
allows users to provide input to questions, thereby allowing blocked virtual
machine operations to complete.
The
vmware-cmd
--answer
option allows you to access the input. You can use this option when you want to
configure a virtual machine based on a user's input, such as in the following
example situations.
- The user clones a virtual machine and provides the default virtual disk type.
- When the user powers on the virtual machine, it prompts for the desired virtual disk type.
