Is there way to change /etc/hosts files from the scripts

[zhangfred_vm]

Hi Friends,

As we want to change the /etc/hosts for many esx servers, is there way to change the the /etc/hosts of all the esx servers, using the scrips?

Hi

Should be possible, you can run bash script from Linux server or from one of yours ESX servers against all ESX servers. If you wanna do it without typing pass for every server you should consider place your public ssh keys on all ESX servers. How to log in to Linux without pass can be found very quickly in google e.g.

Or you could just use an expect script to login to everything.  I would imagine that this would also be possible with the use of PowerCLI.
