vSphere5命令行概述

vSphere命令行概述

在管理vSphere设备时，除了可以使用图形界面外，还可以使用vSphere命令行。vSphere官方文档介绍如下：

vSphere supports several command-line interfaces for managing your virtual infrastructure including the vSphere Command-Line Interface (vCLI), a set of ESXi Shell commands, and PowerCLI. You can choose the CLI set best suited for your needs, and write scripts to automate your CLI tasks.

意思是说vSphere支持几种命令行交互界面，包括vSphere Command-Line Interface (vCLI)，ESXi Shell命令集和PowerCLI。你可以选择合适的命令写成脚本来自动执行任务。

命令集主要有以下几个：

• ESXCLI 1、在ESXi Shell中运行；2、安装vCLI后运行；3、部署vMA后运行
• esxcfg- 过时的版本，在5.0之后使用ESXCLI命令集取代。但在系统中仍然保留
• vicfg- 1、安装vCLI后运行；2、部署vMA后运行
• VMware PowerCLI 需要安装vSphere PowerCLI，前提是系统中有PowerShell
• localcli 与ESXCLI命令集相同，但仅在宿主机不可用并且无法重启时使用，并且使用后需重启宿主机
