  • 1.  Tech support mode vS vCLI

    Posted Aug 05, 2013 10:32 PM

    Started to learn and work around the command line operation on the vSphere. But I am bit confused what are commands are used to troubleshoot the ESXi through Tech support mode and SSH ? vSphere CLI ?

    Want to know the major difference between them  Tech support mode, vCLI..

    The commands available in Tech Support mode and via SSH are the same. There's some overlap with vSphere CLI.

    Here's a couple of good references:

    Hi,

    Want to know the major difference between them  Tech support mode, vCLI..

    You have the same commands available on both. But with SSH or ESXi shell local access you can run this command only on one Host but with vCli you can run on multiple hosts.
