No CLI command to reboot VM on ESX 6.5

Hi,

 

I am using the free version of ESX 6.5. I wanted to shut down and start VMs hosted on the single ESX 6.5 server remotely via the command line from a Windows Workstation on the network. I have installed the VMWare CLI  as well as Strawberry PERL.

 

The Esxcli command works okay but it has no capability to SOFT shut down the machines it can only kill the process which I have not tried, but I have tried listing the VMs and I do get list. I used the thumbprint technique for authorization.

 

The command I intend to use is the vmware-cmd.pl

 

This command refuses to work. and does not provide any helpful information about why it is failing. I am using the documentation and giving the exact commands. The sample command I am running is given below. The installation path for the CLI is default and given below.

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin>

 

Command attempts

 

vmware-cmd.pl -H 101.1.1.2 -U someAdmin -P somePass "/vmfs/volumes/Fullpath/Server.vmx" suspend soft

 

However this simply prints the entire help screen of the command. Adding -v does not provide any help.

 

Tried using

 

 

credstore_admin.pl add --server 101.1.1.2 --username someAdmin --password somePass

 

from the perl general directory but it simply says run the credstore_admin.pl help for more information no matter what I provide.

 

 

I've already spent over 10 hours trying to get this to run including time to get Perl to run correctly so I would appreciate if someone would tell me what I am doing wrong.

The CPU supports ESXi 6.7 and 7.0, but the rest of the system does not because it's a consumer piece of hardware.

Once again, no.

Re: Logical Switch

The port group is responsible for the L2 (switching) communication between the VMs or for the VMK (management, vmotion, VSAN, .....) and it 's rely on the physical NIC's (must include uplinks ) specially if the two VM's  in different hosts.

 

And for the Logical switch this is new in nsx-v and it's responsible for L2 trafific of the vms inside the nsx only (in the virtual environment) and the traffic between the distributed routers. its not depend on any physical network adapters and it's mainly responsible for the VXLAN packet. the logical switch here is only identifying the VXLAN segments.the portgroup in the NSX-V is responsible for the communication between the VTEPs for the physical communication between the hosts which including the VXLAN traffic.

 

SO, in simple way the portgroup is mandatory for the communication between the physical hosts for management or for the vtep communication portgroup understand only the VLAN traffic.

 

this was pref for the logical switch and the port group  and to answer your questions:

 

1- Do we have to use a logical switch?

For the NSX yes it's must. as it is mandatory to identify the VXLAN segment ID.

 

2- what are Differences between a logical switch and a port group?

As mentioned previously

 

3- If we have to create logical switches, what do we do with the previous port groups that exist on VDS?

The Port Groups in the VDS will still work for the communication for the management network and you will use it for the VTEP network. 

 

4- Can we use a port group as a logical switch?

No , we cannot use it . as the port group cannot understand the VXLAN packet.

 

I hope this pref answer your questions and i hope that this become answer for you also, for More details and more information just follow my blog http://www.syncgates.com.

Thank you very much! I will do my tests on nested esxi first.

Just to add a bit more context to this.

I was getting the same issue whilst trying to download the vSphere 7 evaluation ISOs.

 

In my case the issue was being caused by my Ad-Blocker (Pi Hole) which was blocking requests to (at least) these sites:

  • c.evidon.com
  • s.go-mpulse.net
  • s7.addthis.com
  • api.demandbase.com

 

Disabling my Ad-Blocker got things working.

You can create vsan using nested esxi. This is quite simple and there are a lot of resources.

Problem solved.

When creating the vsan, there was a checkbox for VLAN.

It was checked with a value of 0.  I thought this meant "no 802.1q".

 

Turns out that I needed to uncheck the checkbox to remove 802.1q.

Then I obtained my DHCP addresses no problem.

You will have to guess. No guarantees it'll work.

I will use this hardware for home lab, All I need is ESXi and maybe 2-4 VMs

Just one more thing. If you get this to work with ESXi, and you want to setup vCenter plus some VMs, then 8GB RAM will definitely be not enough. I'm running a small virtual vSphere lab at home, based on VMware Workstation on a PC with 32GB RAM, which IMO is the minimum RAM that you need.

Hi LuCD,

Its working.....

Am having two doubts....

1)I have to disconnect the hosts which were connected, Disconnect-VIServer $esxNames -Confirm:$false  adding this command in the end is ok or I have to use for loop?

2) The above script gives datastore values in GB, How to convert it as TB?

1) Are you connecting to a vCenter?
In that case, you don't have to connect/disconnect from each ESXi node.

 

2) Just divide by 1KB

 

    @{N='FreespaceTB';E={'{0:n2}'-f($_.FreespaceGB/1KB)}},

    @{N='CapacityTB';E={'{0:n2}'-f($_.CapacityGB/1KB)}},

    @{N='Provisioned';E={'{0:n2}'-f(($_.CapacityGB– $_.FreespaceGB+($_.extensiondata.summary.uncommitted/1GB))/1KB)}}|
