ESXCLI
Overview
The ESXCLI tool allows for remote management of ESXi hosts by using the ESXCLI command set.
ESXCLI was previously part of the vSphere CLI and is now provided as a separate package.
Note: ESXCLI 8.0.2 is compatible with ESXCLI commands included in ESXi 6.7.x, ESXi 7.0.x and ESXi 8.0.x.
The available command set depends on the version of the ESXi host and is described in the reference documentation of each version.
Installing
This new version of esxcli is distributed as a compressed Python package that can be installed directly with "pip install".
$ pip install esxcli-*.tgz
