Récup des vmk :
esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get
Disable du firewall :
esxcli network firewall set --enabled false

Définir la location scratch (core dumps) :
vim-cmd hostsvc/advopt/update ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLocation string "/vmfs/volumes/nas-cesium-ds/.locker-zeus" esxcli system settings advanced set -o /UserVars/SuppressCoredumpWarning -i 1
Config des logs locaux :
esxcli system syslog config set --logdir=/vmfs/volumes/nas-cesium-ds/.log-zeus --logdir-unique=true
Des astuces sur les VIB :
esxcli software acceptance set --level CommunitySupported esxcli software vib install -d /tmp/MRVL-Atlantic-Driver-Bundle_1.0.2.0-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922-offline-bundle-16081713.zip esxcli software sources profile list -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml | grep -i ESXi-6.7 | grep standard | sort esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0-20190504001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
USB Stick ESXi avec macOS :
diskutil eraseDisk MS-DOS "ESXI" MBR diskXXX diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskXXX sudo fdisk -e /dev/diskXXX f 1 write quit
Ensuite renommer le ISOLINUX.CFG en SYSLINUX.CFG et éditer le en rajoutant -p 1 sur la ligne APPEND -c boot.cfg
Update ESXi :
(https://tinkertry.com/easy-update-to-latest-esxi)
Par exemple (avec le numéro de build et la version, voir https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2143832 pour le build)
esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-7.0U2c-18426014-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
Jouer avec les VM en cli :
vim-cmd -> pour avoir la liste des commandes vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms -> pour récup toutes les vm registered sur l'ESXi vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on 1 -> demarrer la vm avec l'ID 1 vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate 1 -> récupérer l'état de la VM 1
Analyse SCSI/Stockage sur une VM :
Récupérer le worlgroup ID (id de disque virtuel) d'une vm :
vscsiStats -l
Start de collect de stats scsi du disque virtuel cible :
vscsiStats -t -s -w 966699
Sauvegarde des traces récoltées :
vscsiStats -p all -c -w 966699 > /tmp/vmstats-<vmname>.csv
Stop de la collection des stats
vscsiStats -x
Astuces VSAN :
Récupérer le master node d'un cluster VSAN :
esxcli vsan cluster get | grep 'Sub-Cluster Master UUID' | awk '{print $4}'
Lister les membres d'un cluster VSAN :
cmmds-tool find -t HOSTNAME |grep UUID (par exemple master node) cmmds-tool find -t HOSTNAME | grep 5a79d6fe-667b-da0e-0f64-246e969b6920

Débugguer des flux réseau sous ESX avec pktcap :
Voir notamment ce billet : https://vblog.io/le-manuel-du-parfait-plombier-nsx-t-maj-continue/
D'abord extraire le numéro de port de la nic virtuelle que vous voulez pister :
