Introduction

If you are documenting VI then it helps to have the icons that VirtualCenter uses.

On the main communities.vmware.com site, heyitspablo posted a full list.

That document has been syndicated on VIOPS because it is very useful for documenting VI and complements the existing icon and stencil libraries on VIOPS (see Resources).

Intended Audience

VMware Certified Professionals (VCPs) who are documenting their VMware Infrastructure.

Outline

• How to download

You could open the source document (see Resources) then right-click, Save Image As... but you'll be there for ages (138 icons!).

To make life easy (after all, the best admin's motto is "Smart and Lazy"!), I've attached a txt file with the URL list for all of the icons, so now all you have to do is use wget and this file and it takes just under 4s

Here's how I did it, note I'm on a Mac:

1. On your local drive, create a new directory "icons"

2. Save the attached icons.txt into your "icons" directory.

3. Optional: download wget if you don't have it - I got it for the Mac here

4. Run "wget -i icons.txt" and it should take a few seconds to get all the .png files from the communities site.

Here's the commands:

$ mkdir icons
$ cp icons.txt icons
$ cd icons
$ time wget -i icons.txt

...(lots of output here for all 138 files)...
