[chef] RE: Knife-vSphere plugin (windows)

["Van Fossan,Randy" < >]

After looking at the source, I see you can specify the Datacenter and vSphere 
host.  I tried it "-d" and --vshost options and they do work.

Subject: Knife-vSphere plugin (windows)

All,

I am having some success with the knife-vsphere (0.2.3) plugin in windows.  
We have the Chef 0.10.12 Omnibus package for Windows installed and we then 
installed the knife-vsphere plugin.     The plugin seems to work ok  in 
windows after I did a little gem cleanup..   My question is, is there a way 
to pass the vsphere_dc and vspere_host via the command line?   I have tried 
setting windows environment variables as follows and it isn't working.

vsphere_host="mvcenter.fqdn"
vshrere_dc="mydatacenter"

We have many Data Centers on multiple Virtual Center servers.

We need to run knife-vsphere on a windows chef management console due to 
using VMware Orchestrator and PowerCLI as a wrapper around the "knife 
vsphere" command.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
  Randy
