Register all VM to a new ESX host

A standalone ESX has been reinstalled. All VM are on a shared storage.
I registered all VM with this following command:

find /vmfs/volumes -name "*.vmx" | xargs -i{} vmware-cmd -s register {} 

For information, you can replace xargs -I{} by xargs -i{} for certain esx version

HP Virtual Connect Blank page problem

Some elements of your HP Virtual Connect didn't work anymore like "Ethernet Networks" ?
Do you have a blank page ?
If your are in a secure environment where only port 443 is opened, try to open port 80. It seems that flash player in some VC version only work on this port

Before (only port 443 opened)















After (Port 80 and 443 opened)

Unregister all VM in a ESX host

Problem with an old ESX v3.0.2. All VM have been stopped. I must unregister all VM from this ESX. So I use replace-str xargs option like this:

vmware-cmd -l | xargs -i{} vmware-cmd -s unregister {} 

You can stop / start / suspend / reset all VM using the same tip:

vmware-cmd -l | xargs -i{} vmware-cmd {} stop
vmware-cmd -l | xargs -i{} vmware-cmd {} start
vmware-cmd -l | xargs -i{} vmware-cmd {} suspend
vmware-cmd -l | xargs -i{} vmware-cmd {} reset

For information, you can replace xargs -I{} by xargs -i{} for certain esx version
