VMware Labs present its latest fling, the Ruby vSphere Console - RVC is an open source project. Ruby vSphere Console (RVC) is a console UI for vSphere, built on the RbVmomi bindings to the vSphere API. RVC is a console UI for VMware ESX and vCenter. The vSphere object graph is presented as a virtual filesystem, allowing you to navigate and run commands against managed entities using familiar shell syntax.
Features:
• Tab Completion
• Marks
• Ruby Mode
• VMODL Introspection
• Multiple Connections
• Extensibility
This video will show you how to get up-and-running. You'll learn how to install the Ruby vSphere Console and how to connect to the vCenter Server. I'll also show some basic tasks like powering off and -on virtual machines.
Update: Rich Lane has released RVC 1.3.5 which fixes a bunch of bugs on Windows, including VMRC support. He has created a wiki page at https://github.com/vmware/rvc/wiki/Running-on-Windows
