Running the HellovCloud Example
The hellovcloud.php example program, included in the samples folder of the SDK, demonstrates a number of
the operations that the vCloud SDK for PHP supports.
The hellovcloud.php example demonstrates the following operations:
n
Logging in to the cloud and getting an organization list
n
Finding a vDC and a catalog
n
Uploading an OVF package to create a vApp template in the catalog
n
Instantiating the vApp template to create a vApp
n
Operating the vApp
Like all of the example programs in this SDK, hellovcloud.php is liberally commented. Read the comments
for more information about how this example uses the features of the SDK to implement a structured workflow
through the lifecycle of a vApp.
Procedure
1 Open a console or shell in the samples folder.
