Syntax

The vmcli -f set_domain command uses this syntax:
vmcli -f set_domain -I domainObjectListFile
Linux operating systemsYou must issue the vmcli -f set_domain command as tdpvmware user, and not as root.

The new domain value is stored in the vmcli database.

Parameters

-I domain ObjectListFile
The domainObjectListFile has the following requirements:
  • The file contains one VMware datacenter identifier per line.
  • The valid identifier is the datacenter name.
If no domain is configured, the current instance is used to manage all datacenters that are available in the vCenter. When the vmcli -f set_domain command is run without -I parameter, the domain configuration is deleted.
An example domainObjectListFile is provided here:
#datacentername:datacenterName
datacentername:datacenterXYZ
datacentername:datacenterA*
datacentername:datacenterB*
