I wrote a simple script which creates a snapshot on multiple machines. This can also be used to delete snapshots on multiple machines. You’ll need vmware SDK for perl and an answer file with IPs separated by a carriage return like:
\n192.168.1.100
\n192.168.1.101<\/p>\n
Then use this script:
\n#!\/bin\/bash
\nAPI_User=administrator
\nAPI_Password=INSERT_PASSWORD
\nsnapshotName=test
\nanswerFile=.\/answerFile.txt
\ndestinationFile=\/var\/www\/default\/htdocs\/SnapshotsCreated.txt
\ndate >> $destinationFile
\necho ” ” >> $destinationFile
\nfor machineIP in `cat $answerFile`
