Creates machines on a [VMware vSphere](https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere.html)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
$ docker-machine create --driver vmwarevsphere --vmwarevsphere-username=user --vmwarevsphere-password=SECRET vm
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-boot2docker-url`: URL for boot2docker image.
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-cpu-count`: CPU number for Docker VM.
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-datacenter`: Datacenter for Docker VM (must be set to `ha-datacenter` when connecting to a single host).

- `--vmwarevsphere-datastore`: Datastore for Docker VM.
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-disk-size`: Size of disk for Docker VM (in MB).
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-folder`: vSphere folder for the docker VM. This folder must already exist in the datacenter.
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-hostsystem`: vSphere compute resource where the docker VM is instantiated. This can be omitted if using a cluster with DRS.
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-memory-size`: Size of memory for Docker VM (in MB).
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-network`: Network where the Docker VM is attached.
|

|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-pool`: Resource pool for Docker VM.
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-username`: **required** vSphere Username.
|
|
- `--vmwarevsphere-vcenter-port`: vSphere Port for vCenter.
