vmware-cmd: why is vCenter not consistent with ESX host ?

Hi all,

This is a bit annoying.

When I send a list VM to the ESX host I get something like that :

vmware-cmd -H esxi02.axe.lan -U root -P xxxx -l

/vmfs/volumes/f0fd945a-275bd0c1/CL-VMGMT/CL-VMGMT.vmx

/vmfs/volumes/4d220aff-1b6f60b8-33cb-68b59975c9d0/VFILES/VFILES.vmx

First VM is on a NFS datastore, second is on a SAS datastore. Fine.

But when I send my command through the vCenter, something weird occurs :

vmware-cmd -H vcenter.axe.lan -h esxi02.axe.lan -U administrator -P xxxx -l

/vmfs/volumes/nfs/CL-VMGMT/CL-VMGMT.vmx

/vmfs/volumes/4d220aff-1b6f60b8-33cb-68b59975c9d0/VFILES/VFILES.vmx

The datastore path has been changed into something completely different, "nfs" instead of "f0fd945a-275bd0c1"

Why ?

And why just the NFS link ?

N.
