‌Moderator note: Product question, so moved to the correct forum area - ESXi 5.

There is no TLS version for ESX. TLS is a protocol used for communication for different services. ESX has different services which uses different versions of TLS for communication

You can use nmap or openssl to scan ports in ESX. There is a KB which lists all ports in ESX, so you can scan against various ports and find out which protocols are supported by different services in ESXi

You can use the below script to find out the snapshot info

for i in `vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms |awk '{print $1}'`

do

vim-cmd vmsvc/get.snapshotinfo $i

done

Hi rvkrish25,

What command-line tool do you want to use? Is PowerCLI okay or were you wanting native ESXi console commands?

Kind regards.

Hi,

IF TLS is not support for EXSi 5.5 please share me the command to check for EXSi 6.0

Thanks

Hi,

We have Vulnerability for EXSi 6.0 need to enable TLS but as per the document ( VMware ESXi 6.0 Update 1b Release Notes ) we need to upgrade 6.0 1b,

but it seems EXSi 6.0 with TLS version 1.0

Hence I need to find the current TLS version in EXSi 6.0 in command line

Thanks

Hi

Here are the TLS and service supported: https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2136185

But still do not understand what you need to accomplish. You need a connection, or ESXi shell console?
