About This Book<br />
The <strong>vSphere</strong> <strong>PowerCLI</strong> User’s <strong>Guide</strong> provides information about installing and using the <strong>VMware</strong> <strong>vSphere</strong><br />
<strong>PowerCLI</strong> cmdlets (pronounced “commandlets”) for managing, monitoring, automating, and handling<br />
life-cycle operations for <strong>VMware</strong> <strong>vSphere</strong> components—virtual machines, datacenters, storage, networks, and<br />
so on.<br />
Intended Audience<br />
This book is intended for anyone who needs to install and use <strong>vSphere</strong> <strong>PowerCLI</strong>. The information in this book<br />
is written for administrators who are familiar with virtual machine technology and Windows PowerShell.<br />
There are two categories of users for <strong>vSphere</strong> <strong>PowerCLI</strong>:<br />
Basic administrators can use PowerShell commands included in <strong>vSphere</strong> <strong>PowerCLI</strong> to manage their<br />
<strong>VMware</strong> infrastructure from the command line.<br />
Advanced administrators can develop PowerShell scripts that may be reused by other administrators or<br />
integrated into other applications.<br />
NOTE All <strong>vSphere</strong> <strong>PowerCLI</strong> users are expected to be familiar with the details of <strong>VMware</strong> <strong>vSphere</strong><br />
administration and the Windows operating system. Solution developers are expected to be familiar with the<br />
.NET infrastructure and the VIM object model as well.<br />
