很多命令的 -h 都包含了詳細的例子
esxcli network:
這是一個命令集, 包含了很多子命令
esxcli network nic list 查看網卡信息
esxcli network ip route ipv4 list 查看路由(ipv4)
esxcli network ip dns server list 查看 dns
esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get 查看ip配置(ipv4)
esxcfg-route:
esxcfg-route 查看默認路由
esxcfg-nics:
esxcfg-nics 等價 esxcli network nic list
tcpdump-uw:
類似於Linux下的 tcpdump, 是 ESX 的抓包工具

ESXi命令行修改密碼
通過 ssh 登錄到 ESXi 系統後, 可以通過 passwd root 來修改密碼
參考 Changing ESXi Root Password , 裏面還說明了如何開啓 ESXi ssh 登錄.
ESXi 的 authorized_keys
For ESXi 5.0, the location of authorized_keys is: /etc/ssh/keys-<username>/authorized_keys

控制虛擬機開關機
To power on a virtual machine from the command line:
List the inventory ID of the virtual machine with the command:
vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms |grep <vm name>
Note: The first column of the output shows the vmid.
Check the power state of the virtual machine with the command:
vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate <vmid>
Power-on the virtual machine with the command:
vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on <vmid>
關機就是把 power.on 改爲 power.off 就可以了.
參考: Powering on a virtual machine from the command line when the host cannot be managed using vSphere Client
另外還有一種方法, 只能控制關機:
Get a list of running virtual machines, identified by World ID, UUID, Display Name, and path to the .vmx configuration file, using this command:
esxcli vm process list # 只顯示開機的虛擬機列表
Power off one of the virtual machines from the list using this command:
esxcli vm process kill --type=[soft,hard,force] --world-id=WorldNumber
Notes: Three power-off methods are available. Soft is the most graceful, hard performs an immediate shutdown, and force should be used as a last resort.
Alternate power off command syntax is:
esxcli vm process kill -t [soft,hard,force] -w WorldNumber
