U4 ESXi 4.0 and the command prompt

Hi all

My apologies if this is a common question or if I'm missing something obvious, but for the life of me I can't understand it.

Build an environment - some ESXi 4.0 U4 and vCenter Server 4 on 2008 R2 hosts. When you generate the hosts I run some local commands on the host (for example, to disable the login Web Access as described page here: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016039 )

However actually get a command prompt driving me crazy.

ESXi 4.0 has not a console service - that's fine. So I downloaded the remote CLI package of vSphere and installed on my server vCenter. However I can not for the life of me figuire how actually get cela to connect to the host and present a command prompt so that I can actually run (for example, vim - cmd). I have a bin under a load of perl scripts folder (and I actually used vihostupdate.pl to apply an update) and the ESXCLI executable.

Could someone please save what remains of my hair and tell me where I'm wrong? How to access a console to execute commands etc?

I heard I can log on to the local console and enter a console "unsupported", but I am wary of this...

Thank you

Chris

Hello and welcome to the forums.

Method not supported is the only way.

  • Installation Oracle BI Publisher and the command prompt closes on its own

    I am following the instructions to install Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.7.1 Trial Edition with the instructions available on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/trial-edition-install-guide-1556170.pdf

    The instructions tell you don't not to close the prompt during the installation process.  In my installation, command line closes on its own.

    Don't know what I can do.

    I'm installing on a Windows 7 64-bit PC.  I have Java installed update 7 45 and Internet Explorer 10.

    Make sure that you install the BEEP in a folder that does contain no spaces. For example "C:/Program Files/BEEP...". ». Given that space in "Program Files" the guest back sometimes charge and close immediately telling me error "path not found", but the dos window closes quickly and you will not be able to see the error. Install to a different folder. Say "C:/BEEP".

    Watch the docs below and remove the classpath as well.

  • How do you do the command prompt window stay open after running a command?

    OK, I feel stupid asking this, because I knew the answer before. I learn Visual C++ programming. The book I learn to write C++ and past then in details on the writing of the GUI from Visual C++ part. The book that I market me through compilation and to make an exe file in a cpp file, and then he said: go to the directory in Explorer and double click on the exe file. I do, and the command prompt appears a quick second before closing down. The example in the book shows the output, and the writer obviously has his guest configured to pause after executing an exe file.

    I just set up my guest to do the same thing, so I can at least see the results. I know that running the exe I wrote, but I would like to see the output for less than a second.

    I don't know how you code this. But if it's like a normal batch or whatever it is command line related.

    Follow these steps to use a switch defined by the user at the end of the script.

    To pause a file of DOS commands under Windows XP, continue to the next command, you can use the PAUSE command. Make request to the user with the text:

    Press any key to continue. . .

    Then the batch file is waiting for the user to press a button. However, if you want to pause a batch file and display anything? Simply redirect the results to no one as follows:

    pause > null

    Given that it is perhaps not very useful (how will the user know they need to press a key to continue the batch file?) you display a different prompt. Issue a command with your desired guest ECHO, and then issue the break preceding > no command.

    For example, to pause a batch file of Windows XP with the prompt "Press ENTER to run the command", use the following commands:

    echo press ENTER to run the command
    pause > null

    Hi Jack,

    This driver belongs to AsIO.sys Asus Probe. Try to uninstall Asus Probe and if you need, install again. If this does not help, uninstall Asus Probe and other tools of control such as Speedfan. Open the registry (regedit.exe) editor and search for AsIO.sys and remove all the entries that you can find.

  • How can I change text size and point via the command prompt?

    I want to create a script that will allow me to easily change to or from my TV to my monitor. I know how to change the display, but I don't know how I can change the size of text and point via the command prompt (that is, from 100% to 150%). Does anyone know how?

    Unfortunately, you can not.  In addition, change the DPI requires reboot (or logout and back).  But you can apply a different theme, that you can call from the command just by opening the .themepack file.  Since themes can control the size of some elements of the police who might do the trick you are looking for.

  • Satellite L - can I add new accounts via the command prompt?

    Is it possible that I can add new accounts to the machine via the command prompt on the screen of "recovery"?

    (When you start in recovery mode and select command prompt)

    I tried the normal commands "net user username / add ', but the accounts are not added to the machine.

    Y at - it another command which can be used?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I don't know if it will work using the in my opinion Mr. recovery console, it is not possible.
    As far as I know that you can add the user and the password using the CMD, but this might work only when the Windows operating system has been loaded.

    In this case, you can use this command to add the user account: + net user username / add +.
    If you want to add a password for the user account, then you must use this way: + net user username password / Add +.

  • Execution of multiple lines of command at the command prompt (windows)

    Hello

    I'm vascular using the command prompt in the windows to try to send a command to the microcontroller that is connected through TCP connection.

    I am able to use the normal cmd.exe to send the command but I am unable to send the command all successfully using labview.

    The Vi. I use the exec.vi system found in the labview connectivity section.

    Basically, I want to send is 'telnet A1' motion in the cmd.exe to establish a connection to the microcontroller, followed by "For A1 100 GO," which will be performed by the microcontroller to do what is necessary. But currently, the problem is that I can only establish a connection using the exec.vi system but can't send the second part of the message 'for A1 100 GB".

    My command line, I tried typing is cme.exe /K telnet A1 & for A1 100 GB. It seems that labview is only able to run the first part of the command. Y at - there no alternatives?

    Thank you for all your help.

    I suspect that there are problems of synchronization with this code. Forst, you should clean it to the top because it is very difficult to follow. Cables are hidden under objects, this is a lot bigger than a view type and the code is usually very disorganized. I also suggest that you look at using a state machine, but also a structure of the event to intercept the user interface events such as the Start button.

  • Update Live from the command prompt

    Hello

    I create an executable whose purpose and to make the creation of a winPE bootable USB key easier.

    To create the key, I need to run multiple commands with the systemexec.vi. Many of these commands take ages at the end so I need to know whether or not the command is still in progress.

    What would be great is to have a live update from the command prompt. I guess there should be a way to insert the command line in a secondary or other container?

    Best regards

    Try to redirect the standard output to a file, as in this example:

    ping 192.168.0.46 > out.txt

    If your utility supports redirection, you can read the contents of the file at any time.

    Be careful to choose a working directory where your username has write permissions.

    If you have used Windows Explorer (computer) to create the directory in question (C:\KindleGen\) and extract the files in this directory...

    Open a command prompt.

    Type:

    CD \KindleGen

    Type:

    DIR

    Run everything you are supposed to run by typing the name.
