It is so sad that the graphic management VMware ESXi is not support Linux OS so today I will write about how to use vCLI on Linux.
Bước 1: Install dependencies packages
32 bit
| sudo apt-get install libssl-dev perl-doc liburi-perl libxml-libxml-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl |
64 bit
| sudo apt-get install libssl-dev perl-doc liburi-perl libxml-libxml-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl ia32-libs |
Bước 2: Install vCLI on Linux
| tar -zxvf Vmware-vSphere-CLI-4.X.X-XXXXX.i386.tar.gz sudo vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/vmware-install.pl |
If you choose default install, then the software will locate in these locations:
vCLI scripts - /usr/bin
vSphere SDK for Perl utility applications - /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps
vSphere SDK for Perl sample scripts - /usr/share/doc/vmware-vcli/samples
* Notes: If you want to remove vCLI package, just run the script vmware-uninstall-vSphere-CLI.pl
Have fun!
