VMWare ESX Command Guide
Posted on September 18, 2007
I was stuck with VMware ESX 3 NFS problem since 2 days ago. I tried mostly all the possibility about the Linux NFS problem but I missed out VMware ESX firewall. Damm!
Finally I found out this 2 useful link from google.
1. VMware ESX 3.x Command Guide
2. VMware ESX 2.x Command Guide
- esxcfg-firewall – configure Firewall
- esxcfg-module – VMware Module
- esxcfg-rescan – rescan of a host bus adapter (HBA)
- esxcfg-vswitch – this command allows you to list, add, modify or delete virtual Ethernet switches on an ESX host. The simplest option with this command is the -l option to list the virtual switches defined on the host.
- esxcfg-auth – configures the service console authentication options including NIS, LDAP, Kerberos and Active Directory.
- esxcfg-info – produces an enormous amount of information about the ESX host.
- esxcfg-mpath – manages storage multi-pathing
- esxcfg-resgrp – manage the new ESX feature called resource groups
- esxcfg-hbadevs – used to list the equivalent Linux device names for the visible disk devices that the VMkernel references using vmhba notation.
- esxcfg-boot – configure the GRUB options
- esxcfg-nas – used to list, mount and dismount NFS exports for the VMkernel. In the first example we list the NFS datastores which the VMkernel has mounted.
- esxcfg-route – configure that IP stack by also assigning a default gateway
- esxcfg-vmknic – used to view and set configure the VMkernel ports on virtual Ethernet switches
And many more here.
For example VMware ESX Firewall:
List current firewall settings:
[root@esxhost1 root]# esxcfg-firewall -q
List known services:
[root@esxhost1 root]# esxcfg-firewall -s
Open Port:
[root@esxhost1 root]# esxcfg-firewall -o
Close Port:
[root@esxhost1 root]# esxcfg-firewall -c
Allow all incoming & Outgoing ports:
[root@esxhost1 root]# esxcfg-firewall --alllowIncoming --allowOutgoing
Type esxcfg-firewall -h for more informations.
