You can create snapshots via either the perl vi api, or the rcli tools. We're using puppet to call the perl api and provision guests within ESXi, works a treat. /dane On Apr 25, 2009, at 2:59 AM, paul matthews wrote: > Actually Ohad, I think your script relates to VMware Server. My > ques

Actually Ohad, I think your script relates to VMware Server. My question related to the other free VMware product - ESXi which I think may be a non starter in puppet terms due to the difficulties with getting ruby on as Mike has suggested Cheers Paul 2009/4/24 paul matthews > Ohad, > That's sup
