PowerCLI, a set of PowerShell extensions for vSphere, is a great tool for automating VMware configuration and management tasks. It allows you to change a lot of ESXi host and vCenter settings. One powerful cmdlet is Get-EsxCli which allows you to run ESXCLI tasks from your PowerCLI console. ESXCLI is the main configuration command on an ESXi host. This post explains how to use the Get-EsxCli cmdlet.

[This post is outdated. A new version is available here

Getting Started with Get-ESXCli

To get started with the command you have to load the output to a variable. Connect to the vCenter Server or an ESXi Host directly and run the following command. This will create an object that you can run commands against.

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMhost esx01.virten.lab

The $esxcli variable can now be used in the same way as the esxcli command on an ESXi host. You can list all available namespaces by printing the variable:

PS C:\> $esxcli ======================= EsxCli: 192.168.222.111 Elements: --------- device esxcli fcoe graphics hardware iscsi network sched software storage system vm vsan

To crawl through namespaces you can append any element to the $esxcli variable like you know it from esxcli. The only difference is that in PowerCLI the namespace is separated by a dot instead of a blank.

PS C:\Users\fgr> $esxcli.vm ================= EsxCliElement: vm Elements: --------- process

To execute a command finally, you have to append brackets at the end.

PS C:\> $esxcli.network.nic.list() Description : Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) Driver : e1000 Duplex : Full Link : Up MACAddress : 00:0c:29:84:e7:91 MTU : 1500 Name : vmnic0 PCIDevice : 0000:002:00.0 Speed : 1000

The output can also be used with other PowerShell commands.

PS C:\> $esxcli.network.nic.list() |select Name Name ---- vmnic0

When you want to change configurations on many hosts, you can create a small loop to run the same esxcli command on all hosts:

$hosts = Get-Cluster Cluster |Get-VMHost foreach($vihost in $hosts){ $esxcli = get-vmhost $vihost | Get-EsxCli $esxcli.network.nic.list() }

Using parameters is a little bit tricky as you have to know parameters and their sequence. This is how you find out the parameter definition which is different at each command:

PS C:\> $esxcli.system.module.set TypeNameOfValue : VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Util10Ps.EsxCliExtensionMethod OverloadDefinitions : {void set(boolean enabled, boolean force, string module)} MemberType : CodeMethod Value : void set(boolean enabled, boolean force, string module) Name : set IsInstance : True

This is the section we are looking for:



In that case, we have to define 3 variables: Enabled (boolean), force (boolean) and module (string). As an example, I am going to disable the lldp module:

enable (boolean): $false <-- This will disable the module

(boolean): <-- This will disable the module force (Boolean): $false <-- This will not try to force the commands execution

(Boolean): <-- This will not try to force the commands execution module (string): "lldp" <-- The name of the module to disable

Build the command:

PS C:\> $esxcli.system.module.set($false, $false, "lldp")

That's it. To get an overview of all possible esxcli commands, Robert van den Nieuwendijk has written a small script which can be found here. This script display all esxcli commands and their parameter sequence. Very handy!

This are all valid esxcli commands in ESXi 5.5
