Change the license server from the Service Console

Duncan Epping · May 13, 2009 ·

Got a question today on how to change the licensing server from the Service Console or how to add the license server via a scripted install. Of course “vmware-vim-cmd” is the keyword here. If you want to use a license server you will need to use the first option, if you want to add a license file you will need to use the second option:

  1. vmware-vim-cmd vimsvc/license --source server
  2. vmware-vim-cmd vimsvc/license --source file

Don’t you just love “vmware-vim-cmd”….

    vmware-vim-cmd and vimsh are very useful commands but there is a learning curve to get used to in order to leverage their usefulness. Xtravirt.com has a great document mapping out these commands which will help get you up to speed quickly on what I’ll call the cmdlets.
