I have committed the new VMware code. It is not quite ready to be tested yet.
It resides in managementnode/lib/VCL/Module/Provisioning/VMware so that it
doesn't conflict with the existing VMware modules. Many things need to be
documented but here are a few notes:

xCAT 2.5 which vcl can be based off automatically configures ESXi 4
with ssh enabled. This is for running diskless installs.

It would be pretty easy to implement but requiring SSH poses some
legal/licensing questions, along with some technical problems.
There's a thread that discusses whether or not it violates the VMware
EULA to enable and use SSH, with no definitive answer:

I was going through some of the posts on the vmware forums. Apparently one
could ssh into the ESXi host itself and use the vimsh wrapper to administer
virtual machines. Not sure how hard this would be to implement.

Bingo. I was hoping that only file/datastore operations were locked down. I
attempted to have a shared datastore mounted between the ESXi host and the
management node so that the management node could manipulate the files. This
worked great. I then tried to use VIX to register and power on t
So the next version of the Vmware code will use VIX as well? And I am
guessing Vmware locked down write operations for VIX?

Andy,
How are you coming along with getting ESXi working with VCL? Are
you able to enable SSH by temporarily switching back to an evaluation
license, then manage things via SSH?See "Managing ESXi without
the VI client" at

This is just an update. I have not committed the updated VMware code yet. I
have been trying to find out if there is any way for VCL to manage the latest
free version of ESXi. I don't think this will be possible. Once a free license
code is entered and the host leaves evaluation mode, most f

Hi,
I was wondering if VCL 2.2 ca be used now, because I would like to try out
VMware Server 2.x or ESXi 4.x with it.
Where can I get the code, the SVN repository only has 2.1?
