I know it sounds like a very simple process.It is usually told that you can open the powershell application and access it with the “Connect-VIserver” command sets.
This information is correct but incomplete because the need to required install the powershell module.
Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI
If you have installed the module, you can now connect to VMware vCenter via Powershell.
Connect-VIserver -Server vCenter -Port 443
If you get an error like the one below while connecting, you can use the command below to ignore the warning.
Error: Invalid server certificate. Use Set-PowerCLIConfiguration to set the value for the InvalidCertificateAction option to Prompt if you’d like to connect once or to add a permanent exception for this server. Additional Information: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel with authority
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -Confirm:$false
Now you can connect
Have a nice day !
I am often to blogging and i really appreciate your content. The article has really peaks my interest. I am going to bookmark your site and keep checking for new information.
The heart of your writing whilst appearing reasonable in the beginning, did not really work properly with me after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a while. I still have got a problem with your jumps in logic and you would do well to fill in those gaps. In the event you can accomplish that, I will definitely be impressed.
