The vSphere PowerCLI Administration Guide provides information about using the VMware vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets set that ships with vSphere PowerCLI for managing, monitoring, automating, and handling life‐cycle operations for VMware vSphere components—virtual machines, datacenters, storage, networks, and so on.
It's is intended for anyone who needs to use vSphere PowerCLI. The information in the PDF is written for administrators who are familiar with virtual machine technology and Windows PowerShell.
There are two categories of users for vSphere PowerCLI: Basic administrators can use PowerShell commands included in vSphere PowerCLI to manage their VMware infrastructure from the command line and Advanced administrators can develop PowerShell scripts that may be reused by other administrators or integrated into other applications.
