The VMware plugin connects to one or more VMware vSphere installations and uses virtual machines on those installations for better resource utilization when building jobs. Virtual machines on a vSphere installation are grouped into named pools. A virtual machine may be acquired from a pool when a job needs to be built on that machine, or when that machine is assigned to a build of a job for additional build resources. When such a build has completed, the acquired machine(s) are released back to the pool for use by the same or other jobs. When a machine is acquired it may be powered on, and when a machine is released it may be powered off.
This plugin should work with VMware vSphere 4.0 and later (normally tested on 5.1).
The plugin was introduced in Nectar 10.10.
