-
--vmwarevsphere-username: required vSphere Username. -
--vmwarevsphere-password: required vSphere Password. -
--vmwarevsphere-cpu-count: CPU number for Docker VM. -
--vmwarevsphere-memory-size: Size of memory for Docker VM (in MB). -
--vmwarevsphere-disk-size: Size of disk for Docker VM (in MB). -
--vmwarevsphere-boot2docker-url: URL for boot2docker image. -
--vmwarevsphere-vcenter: IP/hostname for vCenter (or ESXi if connecting directly to a single host). -
--vmwarevsphere-vcenter-port: vSphere Port for vCenter. -
--vmwarevsphere-network: Network where the Docker VM will be attached. -
--vmwarevsphere-datastore: Datastore for Docker VM. -
