VMware vCenter Text UI

by thebsdbox 5 years ago

GNU/Linux ◆ xterm-256color ◆ bash 337 views

Just shows off some of the basic functionality of vctui :-)

This Demonstration will start vctui, with the --address flag pointing to my cluster (under my desk). The Password isn’t supplied as vctui will use the environment variable VCPASS to populate the password.

Green = powered on / Red = powered off / Grey = suspended

FIRST: Filter the VMs (ctrl+f) and find VMware vCenter and examine it’s status
SECOND: Re-filter for my server cluster (ctrl+f), delete (ctrl+d) and old VM and refresh (ctrl+f)
THIRD: Create a New VM (ctrl+n) and refresh (ctrl+r)
FOUR: Power on new VM (ctrl+p) and refresh (ctrl+r)
