VMware Inventory Script
=======================
shamelessly copied from existing inventory scripts.
Retrieve information about virtual machines from a vCenter server or
standalone ESX host. When `group_by=false` (in the INI file), host systems
are also returned in addition to VMs.
This script and it's ini can be used more than once,
This script will attempt to read configuration from an INI file with the same
base filename if present, or `vmware.ini` if not. It is possible to create
symlinks to the inventory script to support multiple configurations, e.g.:
i.e vmware.py/vmware_colo.ini vmware_idf.py/vmware_idf.ini
(script can be link)
* `vmware.py` (this script)
* `vmware.ini` (default configuration, will be read by `vmware.py`)
* `vmware_test.py` (symlink to `vmware.py`)
* `vmware_test.ini` (test configuration, will be read by `vmware_test.py`)
* `vmware_other.py` (symlink to `vmware.py`, will read `vmware.ini` since no
`vmware_other.ini` exists)
so if you don't have clustered vcenter but multiple esx machines or
just diff clusters you can have a inventory per each and automatically
group hosts based on file name or specify a group in the ini.
FIXME
The path to an INI file may also be specified via the `VMWARE_INI` environment
variable, in which case the filename matching rules above will not apply.
Host and authentication parameters may be specified via the `VMWARE_HOST`,
`VMWARE_USER` and `VMWARE_PASSWORD` environment variables; these options will
take precedence over options present in the INI file. An INI file is not
required if these options are specified using environment variables.
