Disconnect and remove ESX host from Vcenter CLI? posted: Jun 30, 2009 6:31 AM

Hi all,

We are having major issues with our old Vcenter and it's database. We are trying to move everything to a new virtual center. We have a few hosts where we are able to disconnect, but then when we try to remove nothing happens. Is there a way to remove from the command line?

You can use PowerShell scripts like this:

These was only the first example that I find ;)
I do not all SDK API, but probably there is a function to disconnect an existing host.
