Managing Virtual
Machines
You can manage
virtual machines with the
or the
vmware-cmd
vCLI command. By using
vmware-cmd
you can register and unregister virtual machines, retrieve virtual machine
information, manage snapshots, turn the virtual machine on and off, add and
remove virtual devices, and prompt for user input.
Some virtual machine management
utility applications are included in the vSphere SDK for Perl.
The
cmdlets, which you can install for use with Microsoft PowerShell, manage many
aspects of virtual machines.
