ESXi command line tasks which I figured I would document as they will come in handy at some point.
- List all VMs registered to this host (This reveals the Vmid needed for other commands)
vim-cmd /vmsvc/getallvms
- Unregister a VM
vim-cmd /vmsvc/unregister <Vmid>
- Register a VM
vim-cmd /solo/register /path/to/file.vmx
- Get power state of a VM
vim-cmd /vmsvc/power.getstate <Vimid>
- Power off a VM
vim-cmd /vmsvc/power.off <Vmid>
- Power on a VM
vim-cmd /vmsvc/power.on <Vmid>
