To connect to your Vcenter, use these ENV variables :

export GOVC_USERNAME='DOMAIN\superjulsimadmin' GOVC_PASSWORD='SuperAmazingPassword' GOVC_URL='mt-sles-vcenter.vodafonemalta.com' GOVC_INSECURE=true

If you have more than one datacenter, you will need to specify the name with this ENV variable :

export GOVC_DATACENTER=NameDatacenter

If you want to test and you don't have a Vcenter, you can used vcsim which is part of govmomi to simulate a vCenter and ESXi API.

/usr/local/bin# vcsim -dc 2 -folder 1 -ds 4 -pool 2 -app 1 -vm 10 &
