4. Re: how to check esx version from command line
This is strange, on the console, I type in vmware -v
It shows VMware ESX Server 3.0.2 build-61618
But when I try to add this to an existing 3.0.2 cluster in VC 2.02
It shows as
Version: VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 build-64607
any idea?

The better solution to see the version is : vimsh -n -e 'hostsvc/hostsummary' | grep fullName

vmware -v gives you the the vmkernel version
vimsh -n -e 'hostsvc/hostsummary' gives you the hostd version.
