vmware workstation 提供了一个命令行工具进行虚拟机管理
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmrun.exe
用法如下:
POWER COMMANDS PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
-------------- ---------- -----------
start Path to vmx file Start a VM or Team
[gui|nogui]
stop Path to vmx file Stop a VM or Team
[hard|soft]
reset Path to vmx file Reset a VM or Team
[hard|soft]
suspend Path to vmx file Suspend a VM or Team
[hard|soft]
pause Path to vmx file Pause a VM
unpause Path to vmx file Unpause a VM
GENERAL COMMANDS PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
---------------- ---------- -----------
list List all running VMs
upgradevm Path to vmx file Upgrade VM file format, virtual hw
installTools Path to vmx file Install Tools in Guest
checkToolsState Path to vmx file Check the current Tools state
register Path to vmx file Register a VM
unregister Path to vmx file Unregister a VM
listRegisteredVM List registered VMs
deleteVM Path to vmx file Delete a VM
clone Path to vmx file Create a copy of the VM
Path to destination vmx file
full|linked
[-snapshot=Snapshot Name]
[-cloneName=Name]
更多的参数可以直接运行vmrun命令查看(不带参数)
.Net中,通过process.start来运行vmrun(带list参数) ,获取该命令的标准输出重定向即可获得当前正在运行的vmware虚拟机列表,然后可根据不同需求(stop、suspend、pause等),带上对应的参数进行虚拟机操作。
Dim strPathShutdown As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("shutdown"),
strPathVmrun As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("vmrun"),
proc As New Process(),
intVM As Integer,
listVM As New List(Of String)
proc.StartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo(strPathVmrun, "list")
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
proc.Start()
Dim out As String = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
MsgBox(out)
listVM = Split(out, vbCrLf).ToList
listVM.RemoveAt(0)
intVM = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("\d+", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Match(out).Value
For Each vm As String In listVM
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = String.Format("suspend ""{0}""", vm)
proc.Start()
Next
