Any way, utilizing Vsphere CLI, to verify md5 checksum values of files within a datastore?
I was hoping vifs.pl would be my solution but the Directory List function contains no more information in the output than the filenames themselves.
Seeing as vSphere Client never confirms an upload of a file, I have no way of knowing if the source iso's I'm wanting to copy over are there in full and useable.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

vifs.pl just provides a very basic view, you can retrieve additional information, take a look at this script:
Regarding verifying an upload and md5 or any type of verification, I'm not aware of any. The method it's probably is using is CopyDatastoreFile_Task which will just let you know if it uploaded successfully or if it faults.
