Hi All
I have been looking at the management of ESXi over the last few weeks. It would appear there is very little out there on managment of it for advacned administrators such as myself. Most people seem to be content with managing it from vCenter or the console. I have found several times it is not easy to do this and when troubleshooting it dosnt provide much information or assistance.
VMware do have a vMA. This is a basic Linux machine running as a mock service console. It allows you to attache multiple ESX and ESXi machines to it and then manage then using more or less the same commands as you would from the service console in a full ESX install. There are limitations as it is not a service console and is only a collection of scripts that run to mock a service console.
I will be focusing on creating a powershell based management pack for my company in the next couple of weeks. I will not be able to release that on here but I should be able to release a cut down version. I am not sure if I am going to do it in an appliance or as a standalone package. lets see how board I get.
I am also now looking to complete the VMware Certified Advanced Professional exam that has just been released. Will try and relay some helpful study information if I can.
