The above script should return the type of the host (ESX or Vsphere) and the names of the VM’s that are running on it: ~]$ chmod +x ~]$.

VIRTUALMACHINE SPHERE PASSWORD

Hostcon=vm_nnectToHost(host,user,pw)Įdit the host, user and password on line 6, 7 and 8 to match your installation. Now we can start with a basic Pysphere example that will try to connect to a Vsphere cluster and list the type of connection.Ĭreate host-info.py with the following contents: #!/usr/bin/python Vm.power_on() Test the connection to Vsphere Net = vm.get_property('net', from_cache=False)įor v in vm.get_property("devices").values():

VIRTUALMACHINE SPHERE DOWNLOAD

Create a file vm_include.py and copy the following contents to the file or download it here: #!/usr/bin/pythonįrom pysphere import VIServer, VIProperty, MORTypesįrom pysphere.resources import VimService_services as VIĭef connectToHost(host,host_user,host_pw): The file contains function definitions related to Pysphere. In order to simplify my scripts that were using Pysphere, I created a file that can be included into other scripts. Running setup.py egg_info for package pysphere

VIRTUALMACHINE SPHERE INSTALL

The easiest way is to do this with PIP: ~]$ sudo yum install python-pipĭownloading pysphere-0.1.8.zip (538kB): 538kB downloaded In order to use pysphere, we need to install the Pysphere library.

The script uses pysphere, documentation can be found here:  and the VMWare API, documentation can be found here: Preparation to run the script For example to enable hot add cpu and memory. In order to create a new VM on a fast and standardized way, I figured it would be a good idea to create a script that calls the VMWare API and executes the actions that I normally do manually via the GUI.

VIRTUALMACHINE SPHERE HOW TO

In this post, I will give some examples on how to easily create a new VM using Pysphere and the VMWare API. In order to be able to easily create and deploy new virtual machines, it can be a good idea to standardize and create VM’s using a (Python) script that calls the API. The VMWare API is very extensive and allows you to do almost all operations that are possible with VMWare using API calls.
