vcbVmName -h localhost -u root -p password -s any
But this wont work if your password starts with '!", then you will need to edit to vcb tool conf file in /etc/vmware/backuptools.conf or maybe you want to do that anyway, its up to you. If you do that then you only need
to run
vcbVmName -h localhost -s any
You are looking for the moref .
moref:256[/code]

Yeah it will, but only if they are powered on.
I thought a VMID is only assigned to powered on VM's? Try powering off a VM and powering it back on and it will have a different VMID.
Hey, Thanx for your helps.. What does moref id mean about? That is different from the VMID...
is generated only when the VM is powered on.. right??? And the VMID is not a constant value and it changes whenever it is powered on...
Not sure what that is, the VM's also have a couple permanent ID's associated with them.
Esiebert7625, could you tell me a little more about the other "couple permanent ID's" associcated with VMs.

If you look in the VC SQL database there are some ID's assigned to VM's.
The VPX_VM table lists a UUID_BIOS row for each VM as well as a ID that is used by SQL to reference the VM in other tables.
That's strange, I use the [/code] when manually creating snapshots from the esx console, it's one of the ways to identify a VM.
For example vcbSnapshot -c moref:352 mail1-test-snap would create a snapshot on my test mail server with the ID of mail1-test-snap. I don't know what other VCB commands use it.
