Install VMware vSphere Client 4.1 CLI on Linux (Ubuntu 10.4)

Saturday, May 21, 2011
It is so sad that the graphic management VMware ESXi is not support Linux OS so today I will write about how to use vCLI on Linux.

Bước 1: Install dependencies packages

32 bit 

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev perl-doc liburi-perl libxml-libxml-perl
libcrypt-ssleay-perl

64 bit 

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev perl-doc liburi-perl libxml-libxml-perl
libcrypt-ssleay-perl ia32-libs

Bước 2: Install  vCLI on Linux

tar -zxvf Vmware-vSphere-CLI-4.X.X-XXXXX.i386.tar.gz
sudo vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/vmware-install.pl

If you choose default install, then the software will locate in these locations:

vCLI scripts - /usr/bin
vSphere SDK for Perl utility applications - /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps
vSphere SDK for Perl sample scripts - /usr/share/doc/vmware-vcli/samples



* Notes: If you want to remove vCLI package, just run the script vmware-uninstall-vSphere-CLI.pl

Have fun!
