The vCLI is kinda terrible. It's Perl so it will run anywhere but installers are only available for Linux and Windows. The core vCLI tools -- esxcfg-, vicfg-, vmware-cmd -- are geared for Host and vCenter interactions. For Guest creation / configuration you'll end up digging into the Perl SDK, which is included in the vCLI. It comes with many more scripts but you'll end up hacking on them to cover all of the functionality that you need. The PowerCLI stuff is way better. It has comprehensive coverage of everything the GUI does and conforms to Powershell conventions. In my experience it is lacking for nothing. |
