VMware vSphere

Creates machines on a VMware vSphere Virtual Infrastructure. The machine must have a working vSphere ESXi installation. You can use a paid license or free 60 day trial license. Your installation may also include an optional VCenter server. The vSphere driver depends on govc (must be in path) and has been tested with vmware/govmomi@c848630.

Options:

• --vmwarevsphere-cpu-count: CPU number for Docker VM.
• --vmwarevsphere-memory-size: Size of memory for Docker VM (in MB).
• --vmwarevsphere-boot2docker-url: URL for boot2docker image.
• --vmwarevsphere-vcenter: IP/hostname for vCenter (or ESXi if connecting directly to a single host).
• --vmwarevsphere-disk-size: Size of disk for Docker VM (in MB).
• --vmwarevsphere-username: required vSphere Username.
• --vmwarevsphere-password: required vSphere Password.
• --vmwarevsphere-network: Network where the Docker VM will be attached.
• --vmwarevsphere-datastore: Datastore for Docker VM.
• --vmwarevsphere-datacenter: Datacenter for Docker VM (must be set to ha-datacenter when connecting to a single host).
• --vmwarevsphere-pool: Resource pool for Docker VM.
• --vmwarevsphere-compute-ip: Compute host IP where the Docker VM will be instantiated.

The VMware vSphere driver uses the latest boot2docker image.
