How to remove an ESXi host using command line in putty
Hi all
I have a number of 5.1 ESXi hosts that are currently managed by the server vSphere. The entire cluster and vSphere server must re-built and I need to work on how I can remove servers using PuTTY.
vSphere server is not in operating condition, so I am unable to remove it through the GUI
Thank you very much
I have worked in related directly to each ESXi host and selecting the ESX host, in respect of the summary page, there is a link to dissociate it from vCentre server.

How to make a backup of the local users and groups with command line?
You delete a shortcut, just as you would remove any other file. A shortcut will end with the extension ".lnk". So assuming you are trying to remove the shortcut named "Shortcut.lnk" which appears to the user 'Bob's Office, you use the button Delete (del) or 'clear' command by specifying the full path to the file. (Remember to put filename in quotes if there is a space anywhere in the path or name) as in:
del "C:\documents and settings\Bob\Desktop\Shortcut.lnk".
What kind of a backup 'users and groups' you want to do? If there is a backup of the users and groups as written in the registry, a good registry as C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT backup program that will make the command line. If you are trying to backup all users and their data as well, then you are better off with a backup program.

How to upgrade an ESXi host from the command line
Sorry for bumping an old thread. I'm new to ESXi. I'm under ESXi 5.5 build 1331820 and I am at a loss how to apply patches.
Preferably, I would like to apply all the relevant patches through console (SSH). Can someone give me pointers how to do this? Thank you
Moderator note (a.p.): branched to a new discussion of
Welcome to the community,
on how to patch a ESXi host from the command line, please see for example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2008939
Basically download you the latest hotfix package and install it using the command esxcli . That said, please make sure that your hardware is supported by the patch that you want to apply (see http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl). You can also do before installing the patch, is to do a "dry - run" to know what . VIBS are removed and which are installed by the patch. To do this add -dry - run to the esxcli command line.
In the case where something goes wrong, you can revert to the previous state by pressing SHIFT-R , while the ESXi hosts begins the start-up.

Manage an ESXi host using vCenter Server?
I understand it is possible and requires of the specific licenses for ESXi hosts, even if I find information on the VMWare site a bit confused as to what I need exactly. We have-
1 License Server Standard 4 x vCenter
4 x vSphere Enterprise license 4 (who manage our ESX 4 hosts this site)
3 (and soon 4) remote sites that have the same server ESXi
I would like to be able to manage ESXi host using vCenter as well, is this possible with what we have? If this isn't the case, can someone direct me as to what it takes?
Thank you
You need the standard by CPU socket for each host license to add to vCenter.
You can always create a separate environment and get the Essentials Bundle (up to 3 guests max) for $500:
So you should have 2 vCenter servers.

Hello
There is no command to operate the drawer in the Windows command prompt.
You can add a small command-line utility called Nircmd.exe that will allow you to do this, and more to use many cool commands more.
Go to the following site.
NirCmd v2.75:
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/NirCmd.html
Download the utility. Unzip the file and copy the Nircmd.exe file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
(If you use the 64-bit Windows version, also copy the file in the SysWOW64 folder so that it also works with the 32-bit command prompt)
After that, open the command prompt and type the following command.
Nircmd.exe cdrom open D:
(Where D: is the CD-ROM drive)
See the NirCmd.chm help file for all orders in option.

Read in the name of the file + path using command line arguments
Hi guys,.
I'm trying to use command line arguments to read two file names. The code below works as long as the files are on the class path.
I would like to be able to read files that are not on the classpath as well by entering the full path as well as their names.public class cmdLineArguments { public static void main(String[] args) { String xmlFile1 = args[0]; String xmlFile2 = args[1]; System.out.println ("\nXmlFile1: " + args[0] + "\nXmlFile2: " + args[1]); } }
In other words, it works if I type:
but not if I type:C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs file1.xml file2.xml
What would someone please explain how I can modify the code to make it work? I guess I could take both a string, change them manually (add a------it etc.), but y at - it an easier way to do it? Even a reference to a tutorial, article etc. on this matter would be much appreciated.C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml
In addition, no idea why compile, execute code fine in Eclipse but would create an error in command line?
Thank you very much.You must learn more about cmd.exe that is used to process the command line. The arguments passed to any program is the command line separated at whitespace so your command line arguments of
c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml
turns into a table of
"c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml", "c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"
In other words, instead of 2 arguments you actually have 6.
To bypass this file names must be enclosed in quotes
java cmdLineArgs "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml" "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"

Is it possible to connect to ESXi (installable) via command line?
I was looking at Recovery Manager documentation and there a screenshot using PuTTY to connect to the ESX Server - when I try to connect I get a "Connection Refused" message There is no access to the ESXi Server console command line. It would be nice to have access to the file system to the less limited.
Any help will be appreciated,

How to call CCI Oracle from a command line
Hello everyone.
I already asked the following question on Stackoverflow.com , but unfortunately, no one was able to answer, yet. So feel free to respond here or on Stackoverflow - I'll keep track of it and synchronize the answer to each community.
I have successfully installed the Oracle Code compliance Inspector (CCI) to JDeveloper extension by following the instructions. Later, I was able to run the BCC in JDeveloper. But I'm not able to invoke the Oracle BCC from a command line.
I can't find the script ("checkCompliance.sh"), mentioned in the documentation. There is no part of the zip file that I downloaded from the oracle.com.
I tried to execute the compliance.policy.engine.jar file directly, but it fails with an error message:
java -jar /oracle/jdevhome/jdeveloper/jdev/extensions/oracle.fp.compliance.inspector/lib/compliance.policy.engine.jar -inputDir /AIA/demo -outputDir /ComplianceOut
Could not load the manifest attribute of hand-Class /oracle/jdevhome/jdeveloper/jdev/extensions/oracle.fp.compliance.inspector/lib/compliance.policy.engine.jar
Any suggestions on how to invoke the ICC from a command line or where I can find the script mentioned in the documentation?
About the error message that I read that this can be corrected by adding a manifest file in the archive jar that defines the main class - but what is the main class of this jar file?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Well, it's resolved.
As mentioned in this part of the documentation, the BCC command line tools are distributed with OER.
The BCC command line tools are distributed with REL in the
/tools/solutions/ - ComplianceInspector.zip. What confused me: REL-download contains only a single .jar file. It took me time to realize that the .jar file is an Installer (installation documentation).
After properly installing OER, I found the
- ComplianceInspector.zip in /repository111/core/tools/solutions /. The
- ComplianceInspector.zip actually contained the checkCompliance.sh file. -
Can upgrade you 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi host using the zip file?
I read the KB articles which seem to indicate that, to upgrade an ESXi host, you must use a vSphere Manager or an ISO on CD or USB. But I saw someone go from 5.1 to 5.5 by downloading a zip file and running the commands, as indicated in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2008939.
When you connect through the vSphere client, it seems to indicate that it has updated to 5.5, but I fear that this may not be an upgrade path has officially supported or may be missing something.
Anyone here can comment if you can upgrade between the press point with a zip and and the upgrade of the above method fix?
Thank you
Yes, it is a supported upgrade path, take a look here: VMware KB: methods of upgrade to ESXi 5.5
Summary of 5.5 ESXi upgrade methods
