It was included in or related to the VCL-450 backend vmware improvements > ESX provisioning modules - based on snapshots > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: VCL-323 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-323 > Project: VCL > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: vcld (backend) > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Reporter: Aaron Peeler > Fix For: 2.3 > > Attachments: esxduke.pm > > > from Sean > This module is designed to work against VirtualCenter/vCenter, but should be > able to work directly with an ESX host as well. It works a little > differently from the existing ESX modules in that it uses the VMware perl API > directly instead of calling the helper apps. In addition, it also greatly > reduces the amount of disk space and deployment time necessary. > Instead of cloning the VM for deployment, this module uses ESX to create a > snapshot of the golden image disk, and uses that for the deployed VM. This > means the only disk space used for the deployed VM is the differences between > it and the master. Likewise, no time is needed to copy all the bits, so > creating the VM takes seconds instead of minutes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
