You can install the package via composer:
composer require VmWare-ag/vmware-php-client You can publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="vmware-php-client-config"
return [
'session_ttl' => env('VMWARE_SESSION_TTL', 10),
'enable_logs' => env('VMWARE_ENABLE_LOGS', true),
];
Create a connection to your hypervisor so that you can call the methods:
$vcenterClient = new VmWare\VmWareClient\VcenterClient(
'https://10.20.30.40',
'mylogin',
'mypassword'
);
$vmInfo = $vcenterClient->getVmInfo('vm-123');This lib can run in three modes: rest, soap and both. By default, it runs in rest mode, but you can set another mode in constructor:
$vcenterClient = new VmWare\VmWareClient\VcenterClient(
'https://10.20.30.40',
'mylogin',
'mypassword',
'soap'
);Yet we recommend to use constants:
$vcenterClient = new VmWare\VmWareClient\VcenterClient(
'https://10.20.30.40',
'mylogin',
'mypassword',
VmWare\VmWareClient\VcenterClient::MODE_SOAP
);
With rest mode you can use REST methods which you can find in the VMWare API developer center.
For now, the lib has only some methods available. You can find full list of files in the vendor/VmWare-ag/vmware-php-client/src/Traits/Rest folder.
We plan to add the full list of methods later.
Using soap mode allow you to use SOAP methods which you can find in VMWare SOAP developer center.
For now, the lib has only some methods available. You can find full list of files in the vendor/VmWare-ag/vmware-php-client/src/Traits/SOAP folder.
We plan to add the full list of methods later.
Here's how to make your first SOAP call:
$folder = $vcenterClient->soap->createFolder('group-v3', 'foldername');
If you want to use both modes at one time you can set both mode (VmWare\VmWareClient\VcenterClient::MODE_BOTH).
If you want to run custom soap method, which you do not find in lib, you can run this method directly:
$vcenterClient = new VmWare\VmWareClient\VcenterClient(
'https://10.20.30.40',
'mylogin',
'mypassword',
VmWare\VmWareClient\VcenterClient::MODE_SOAP
);
$taskInfo = $vcenterClient->soap->request('ReconfigureComputeResource_Task', [
'_this' => [
'_' => 'domain-c33',
'type' => 'ComputeResource',
],
'spec' => [
'@type' => 'ClusterConfigSpecEx',
'drsConfig' => [
'@type' => 'ClusterDrsConfigInfo',
],
'rulesSpec' => [
'@type' => 'ClusterRuleSpec',
'operation' => 'add',
'info' => [
'@type' => 'ClusterAntiAffinityRuleSpec',
'enabled' => true,
'name' => 'VM-VM Affinity rule',
'userCreated' => true,
'vm' => [
['_' => 'vm-133', 'type' => 'VirtualMachine'],
['_' => 'vm-134', 'type' => 'VirtualMachine']
]
],
],
'dpmConfig' => [
'@type' => 'ClusterDpmConfigInfo',
],
],
'modify' => false,
])
Order of parameters is very important. You can find the correct order in the documentation, the
WSDL type definitionsection for each object type.
