vSphere go命令行管理工具govc

一、简介

VMware vSphere APIs (ESXi and/or vCenter)的go语言客户端

• govc - vSphere CLI
• vcsim - vSphere API mock framework
• toolbox - VM guest tools framework

支持的ESXi / vCenter版本：

• ESXi / vCenter 6.0, 6.5 , 6.7 (5.5和5.1版本功能部分支持, 但官方不再支持)

GitHub地址：https://github.com/vmware/govmomi

govc下载地址：https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/releases

govc使用手册：https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/master/govc/USAGE.md

二、安装配置

1、安装

在govc下载地址下载对应平台的二进制包

curl -L $URL_TO_BINARY | gunzip > /usr/local/bin/govc
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/govc

MacOS对应govc_darwin_amd64.gz

2、配置

govc是通过设置环境变量进行配置的。

• GOVC_URL：ESXi或vCenter实例的地址

  默认协议https ，URL路径为 /sdk 。可在URL中设置用户名密码，例如： https://user:pass@host/sdk.

  如果用户名密码中包含特殊字符( \, # , :)，可以在 GOVC_USERNAME ， GOVC_PASSWORD 单独设置用户名密码。

• GOVC_USERNAME：用户名

• GOVC_PASSWORD：密码

• GOVC_TLS_CA_CERTS：指定CA证书

  $ export GOVC_TLS_CA_CERTS=~/.govc_ca.crt
  # 多证书设置
  $ export GOVC_TLS_CA_CERTS=~/ca-certificates/bar.crt:~/ca-certificates/foo.crt
  

• GOVC_TLS_KNOWN_HOSTS：指定验证证书的指纹

  $ export GOVC_TLS_KNOWN_HOSTS=~/.govc_known_hosts
  $ govc about.cert -u host -k -thumbprint | tee -a $GOVC_TLS_KNOWN_HOSTS
  $ govc about -u user:pass@host
  

• GOVC_TLS_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT: TLS握手的超时时间

• GOVC_INSECURE：关闭证书验证

  export GOVC_INSECURE=1
  

• GOVC_DATACENTER：

• GOVC_DATASTORE：

• GOVC_NETWORK：

• GOVC_RESOURCE_POOL：

• GOVC_HOST：

• GOVC_GUEST_LOGIN：

• GOVC_VIM_NAMESPACE：

• GOVC_VIM_VERSION：

以上变量可在~/.zshrc或/etc/profile或~/.bashrc中设置，同时可使用govc env查看设置。

govc vm.console my-vm
govc vm.console -capture screen.png my-vm  # screen capture
govc vm.console -capture - my-vm | display # screen capture to stdout

六、获取VM信息

1、获取VM的IP地址

Usage: govc vm.ip [OPTIONS] VM...

List IPs for VM.

By default the vm.ip command depends on vmware-tools to report the 'guest.ipAddress' field and will
wait until it has done so.  This value can also be obtained using:

  govc vm.info -json $vm | jq -r .VirtualMachines[].Guest.IpAddress

When given the '-a' flag, only IP addresses for which there is a corresponding virtual nic are listed.
If there are multiple nics, the listed addresses will be comma delimited.  The '-a' flag depends on
vmware-tools to report the 'guest.net' field and will wait until it has done so for all nics.
Note that this list includes IPv6 addresses if any, use '-v4' to filter them out.  IP addresses reported
by tools for which there is no virtual nic are not included, for example that of the 'docker0' interface.

These values can also be obtained using:

  govc vm.info -json $vm | jq -r .VirtualMachines[].Guest.Net[].IpConfig.IpAddress[].IpAddress

When given the '-n' flag, filters '-a' behavior to the nic specified by MAC address or device name.

The 'esxcli' flag does not require vmware-tools to be installed, but does require the ESX host to
have the /Net/GuestIPHack setting enabled.

The 'wait' flag default to 1hr (original default was infinite).  If a VM does not obtain an IP within
the wait time, the command will still exit with status 0.

Examples:
  govc vm.ip $vm
  govc vm.ip -wait 5m $vm
  govc vm.ip -a -v4 $vm
  govc vm.ip -n 00:0c:29:57:7b:c3 $vm
  govc vm.ip -n ethernet-0 $vm
  govc host.esxcli system settings advanced set -o /Net/GuestIPHack -i 1
  govc vm.ip -esxcli $vm

Options:
  -a=false               Wait for an IP address on all NICs
  -esxcli=false          Use esxcli instead of guest tools
  -n=                    Wait for IP address on NIC, specified by device name or MAC
  -v4=false              Only report IPv4 addresses
  -wait=1h0m0s           Wait time for the VM obtain an IP address

七、导出VM为OVF模板

1、命令

Usage: govc export.ovf [OPTIONS] DIR

Export V

Options:
  -f=false               Overwrite existing
  -i=false               Include image files (*.{iso,img})
  -prefix=true           Prepend target name to image filenames if missing
  -name=                 Specifies target name (defaults to source name)
  -sha=0                 Generate manifest using SHA 1, 256, 512 or 0 to skip
  -vm=                   Virtual machine [GOVC_VM]

2、示例

注意：

• 磁盘控制器要选择：lsilogic-sas，不然在安装过程显示找不到系统磁盘
• SCSI 磁盘控制器类型：lsilogic|buslogic|pvscsi|lsilogic-sas
• 虚拟机OS类型要加上。类型匹配标识见：https://wiki.abiquo.com/display/doc/Guest+operating+system+definition+for+VMware+vSphere+5+and+6

④设置BIOS启动顺序

govc device.boot -vm windows -delay 100 -order cdrom,ethernet,disk

⑤VM开机

govc vm.power -on -M windows

开机以后就会显示从CD光驱的ISO进行引导启动啦

⑥登录控制台

open $(govc vm.console windows)

⑦(可选)快捷命令
