Remote CLI for ESX4i?

[kellino]

This is my first experiencie with 4i and I'm embarassed to ask this question, but where does one fine the Remote CLI (Windows EXE) for ESX4i? I can find the 3.5 version but I can not locate it for vSphere / ESX4.

I'm usually not this bad at finding things but either it's quite well hidden or I'm hacving a bad day. Until I can find it I guess I'll have to use the vMA.

Thanks!

I don't have ESXi 4 installed and have not yet used it, but is it available for download from the ESX host webpage?

No need to be embarrassed, it's not always easy to find the downloads for some of these tools.

For the vSphere CLI for both Windows/Linux you can download that at: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vcli/ You also have the option of using vMA as you've mentioned at: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vima/

There is a link there (on the server page), but for some reason all those links just get redirected to the default support web site.....

Thanks! I had been on that page several times and read the docs, but I overlooked the "downloads" link at the top. My excuse was that it was after 2AM

Thanks!
