==== ESX CLI Commands ====

Virtual Infrastructure ESX has a service console which can be used to management purposes.
This is a light weight linux based (RHEL3) Virtual Machine which has special privileges that can be used in order to manage your host and Virtual Machines.
Down here we will be trying to document the available commands that you can use on this service console from the so called Command Line Interface (CLI).

In ESXi (3.x) the service console has been removed from the host and there's only a remote alternative available, which is called the [[RCLI]].
The chapter here only contains the documentation for the full blown version not the RCLI.
