PowerCLI

PowerCLI for VMware Cloud on AWS

As we aware that VMware cloud on AWS is growing fast and vmware support on this is great .Nw VMware has Fling which provides a community preview of the upcoming PowerCLI commands for managing VMware Cloud on AWS. It comes in the form of a single PowerCLI module and integrates with existing PowerCLI modules.

All commands have been automatically generated. They are still in development, contain known issues, and will change in the future.

Requirements

It requires PowerCLI 11.0.0 (specifically, the VMware.VimAutomation.Vmc module) and Microsoft Windows.

Instruction

Step 1 – Installing the module
    Option A – automatic installation from PowerShell Gallery
        Execute:
Install-Module -Name VMware.VimAutomation.VmcPreview -RequiredVersion 1.0.0.11171858

    Option B – manual installation through download from labs.vmware.com
        Unzip the contents of the archive directly into one of PowerShell’s module directories.

 Notes:-The PowerShell module directories are listed in the PSModulePath environment variable ($env:PSModulePath).
           – Do not create a subdirectory for the archive’s contents. Unzip directly into the module directory. If the module directory you selected is e.g. ‘C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules’, the resulting path would look like:
C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\VMware.VimAutomation.VmcPreview\EULA.rtf
           And Not
C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\SomeExtraSubdirectoryYouCreatedForTheArchive\VMware.VimAutomation.VmcPreview\EULA.rtf

Step 2 – Running the module
    Execute: Import-Module -Name VMware.VimAutomation.VmcPreview
    At this point, you can call Connect-VmcServer to connect to VMware Cloud on AWS. 
Note:-At this step, if you see an error message about missing required modules, make sure you have PowerCLI already installed and available in one directories listed under $PSModulePath.
