The version of "vmm" shipped in -2 appears to include new >changes which are then not carried over in to "vmw": no, that's not the case but seems a problem invented by debdiff: the package is git-hosted and -built and for some weird reason debdiff hands out all kinds of weird deltas here... attached you'll find a diff -ub between files from the binary packages: vmm from the 0.2.0-1 and the renamed 0.2.0-2 vwm, which shows that apart from renaming vmm into vwm in the POD sections nothing has been changed. regards az

Specifying the password from the command line is exceptionally silly and should be avoided.

-=item B<vmm clone VM01 VM02>
+=item B<vwm clone VM01 VM02>
Clone VM01 to VM02.
Since neither the datasource (-d) or pool (-o) is specified these details are copied from VM01.
-=item B<vmm clone DB00 DB01 -c 30>
+=item B<vwm clone DB00 DB01 -c 30>
Clone DB01 to DB02 creating 30 copies. This will actually make the machines DB01 to DB30.
Since neither the datasource (-d) or pool (-o) is specified these details are copied from VM01.
-=item B<vmm clone DB00 DB01 -c 30 -d SAN1,SAN2 -o Active>
+=item B<vwm clone DB00 DB01 -c 30 -d SAN1,SAN2 -o Active>
Same as the above example but spread the datastores across SAN1 and SAN2 and move the machine to the 'Active' pool.
-=item B<vmm deploy Template-DBServer DB05 -l Databases>
+=item B<vwm deploy Template-DBServer DB05 -l Databases>
Deploys the template Template-DBServer into DB05, moving the destination into the Databases folder.
-=item B<vmm clone Template-DBServer DB05 -l Databases>
+=item B<vwm clone Template-DBServer DB05 -l Databases>
This is exactly the same as above. A clone and deploy operations will automatically figure out if the source is a template and act accordingly.
-=item B<vmm df *2>
+=item B<vwm df *2>
Display a datastore usage sheet (similar to the Unix 'df' command) for all datastores ending in '2'.
-=item B<vmm host maintenance Moe Homer>
+=item B<vwm host maintenance Moe Homer>
Put the hosts 'Moe' and 'Homer' into maintenance mode (use 'restore' to recover from this).
-=item B<vmm list vms>
+=item B<vwm list vms>
List all VMs.
-=item B<vmm list vms -d name,host,ip>
+=item B<vwm list vms -d name,host,ip>
List all VMs - showing their name, currently allocated host and IP address.
-=item B<vmm migrate DBS* Carl>
+=item B<vwm migrate DBS* Carl>
Migrate all virtual machines matching 'DBS*' to the 'Carl' host.
-=item B<vmm migrate DBS* Lenny -w 60 -o Active -p high>
+=item B<vwm migrate DBS* Lenny -w 60 -o Active -p high>
Migrate all virtual machines matching 'DBS*' with high priority to the 'Active' pool on the 'Lenny' host waiting 60 seconds between machine.
-=item B<vmm move DB00 DB01 SAN2 @cluster2>
+=item B<vwm move DB00 DB01 SAN2 @cluster2>
Move VMs DB00 and DB01 to the SAN2 datastore within profile 'cluster2'.
-=item B<vmm show host Lisa>
+=item B<vwm show host Lisa>
Show information on host 'Lisa'.
-=item B<vmm snapshot DB04 DB05 -t 'Todays backup'>
+=item B<vwm snapshot DB04 DB05 -t 'Todays backup'>
Take a snapshot of VMs 'DB04' and 'DB05' using the title 'Todays backup'
-=item B<vmm state on DB00 DB01 -w 30>
+=item B<vwm state on DB00 DB01 -w 30>
Turn DB00 and DB01 on waiting 30 seconds between machines.
-=item B<vmm state on DB00 DB01 -w 30 -f>
+=item B<vwm state on DB00 DB01 -w 30 -f>
Turn DB* VMs on.
-f ensures that even if any of the machines fail to turn on for any reason the remaining machines will still be sent the 'on' command.
