<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>I have just discovered that VMware
provides some command-line tools (called VIM) to interact with the hypervisor. If
I have (ssh) access to the phusical host, I can: list VMs in the local "VM
repository", list the running VMs, instruct the hypervisor to start/stop a
VM, make snapshots, etc. This is described in [1]. The key sentence is "The
Virtual Infrastructure metashell is an undocumented and unsupported shell
accessible from within the console on an ESX server". It also works with
VMware Server 2.0. Is this what is being used for the current VMWare driver? I'm
not yet sure if it makes assumptions on the VMs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
