Hi Aaron C,
I took a pretty close look at vCenter.pm and tried it out on a vCenter
test server. Looks good.
Question: Where is the $DATACENTER variable declared and set? I see
that it should contain the vCenter datacenter name you want to use but
don't see where it is defined. It would be nice
Regarding image/file naming:
I foresaw issues like this when writing VMware.pm. That's why all of
the naming logic is funneled through the various get_vmdk_* and
get_vmx_* subroutines. Changes to naming conventions or where files
are saved should (~theoretically~) only involve changing 1 or 2 of

This is true, and that may very well be the better approach. I am not entirely

This sounds a lot like William Lam's ghetto linked clones method
(http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9202). I've found it to be
pretty useful, but had some frightening corner cases around deleting VMs
and accidentally having parent VMs have their vmdk's deleted.
If you want to go down the

does vcl write its own vmx instead of using the apis? vSphere expects programs
to use the apis, not to hand craft files.When I wrote Duke's provisioning

An interesting problem I have had with this module, however, is that when I

Hi Aaron,
How would you like to proceed with your vCenter modules now that
you're a committer? You can make the initial commit if you're
comfortable with it. If not, I now have access to a vCenter license
and can incorporate it into the current code in trunk and make the
initial commit. There ha
This is wonderful. Thank You. I will try to incorporate it over the
next few weeks. For anyone interested, the Jira issue is:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-499
Also, I committed your improvements in VCL-470 and VCL-471 on 8/4.
I'd suggest working off of trunk in Subversion and svn
Hi Aaron,
Thanks. This is great, definitely needed a method on provisioning on vcenter.
I think Andy will followup as soon as he can on this. He has the most
knowledge of the current committers on the VMware module framework.
