Hi, I'm sorry if this thread is a troll, but I really don't find any good information by the search engine (regarding this subject of course).
I've recently installed ESXi 3.5.
Now I'd like to manage it, I know that I can do it using my existing VMWare Infrastructure Client, in GUI.
But I've downloaded the VMWare VI Remote CLI, and I understood that with this, I can mange my ESX and virtual machine,
using functions in command line, remotely (and then create administratives scripts to run automatically).
I'm looking for a documentation about using the command lines to create VM, start, stop, add storage, manage them ...
Is there a place or documentations that can help me?
Tanks for your help.
