Execute script on esxi

[mimo974]

Hello everyone,

I want in one order put down after up all vmnic of my esx (vmnic1,vmnic2 and vmnic3)

I know the command is : esxcli network nic down -n vmnicX

But can i do this :  esxcli network nic down -n vmnic1 vmnic2 vmnic3 for down and this for up : esxcli network nic up -n vmnic1 vmnic2 vmnic3 ?

If i create a folder at the root and put my script in this folder, do you think can work ?

What kind of script i need to create to use directly on esxi to start esxcli network nic down -n vmnic1 vmnic2 vmnic3 ?

The goal is my colleague just need connect on esxi i start the script.

Thank you for help.

Hello ,

Please use below script

• Create a script test.sh (vi test.sh)
• Add the below lines in the script ( here I am marking vmnic6 and vmnic7 down at same time )

                       #!/bin/sh

                       esxcli network nic down -n vmnic6

                        esxcli network nic down -n vmnic7

• Chmod +x test.sh       (give permissions)
• ./test.sh     (execute the script)

Just did in my lab

[root@esxi2:/var] cat test.sh

#!/bin/sh

esxcli network nic down -n vmnic6

esxcli network nic down -n vmnic7

• Nics are marked as down

Cheers !!

Thank you for your help but for me is not work.

I have this message : -sh: ./script_down_vmnic.sh: not found

Please make sure you are in the correct path while running the script and also do not forget to add permissions with chmod to make it executable.
