Hi,

I have a doubt, what is the exact use of power cli, I think it is the replacement of service console in Esx, and how we can trouble shoot with power cli.

Please refer the below vmware link for VMware Power Cli notes:-

Is it true that power cli can be used to automate some day to day administration activity?

From what I have read, one of the beauty of server virtualization is that process can be automated.
