Register a host using cli

[icalvete]

I have been deploy many esxi 5.1 using automated deploy (dhcp, tftp, ks script....). Works fine.  Now, i want register the hosts in vcenter during deploy o just  after, using cli o some other way.

How i can do this?

Thanks.

you can register multiple host with vCenter using Powercli.

Add multiple ESXi Hosts to vCenter with PowerCLI | Virten.net

Powercli  Basic -

Back to Basics: Connecting to vCenter or a vSphere Host | VMware PowerCLI Blog - VMware Blogs

I am not sure if you can add host to vCenter during esxi deployment

Thanks vHaridas.

I prefer a tool for *nix OS. Is posible?
