Creates machines on a VMware vSphere Virtual Infrastructure. The machine must have a working vSphere ESXi installation. You can use a paid license or free 60 day trial license. Your installation may also include an optional VCenter server.
$ docker-machine create --driver vmwarevsphere --vmwarevsphere-username=user --vmwarevsphere-password=SECRET vm
--vmwarevsphere-boot2docker-url: URL for boot2docker image.--vmwarevsphere-cpu-count: CPU number for Docker VM.--vmwarevsphere-datacenter: Datacenter for Docker VM (must be set to ha-datacenter when connecting to a single host).--vmwarevsphere-datastore: Datastore for Docker VM.--vmwarevsphere-disk-size: Size of disk for Docker VM (in MB).--vmwarevsphere-folder: vSphere folder for the docker VM. This folder must already exist in the datacenter.--vmwarevsphere-hostsystem: vSphere compute resource where the docker VM is instantiated. This can be omitted if using a cluster with DRS.--vmwarevsphere-memory-size: Size of memory for Docker VM (in MB).--vmwarevsphere-network: Network where the Docker VM is attached.--vmwarevsphere-password: required vSphere Password.--vmwarevsphere-pool: Resource pool for Docker VM.--vmwarevsphere-username: required vSphere Username.--vmwarevsphere-vcenter-port: vSphere Port for vCenter.--vmwarevsphere-vcenter: IP/hostname for vCenter (or ESXi if connecting directly to a single host).The VMware vSphere driver uses the latest boot2docker image.
