控制虚拟机开关机

To power on a virtual machine from the command line:
8 C. z- I9 f- b. f* [' R
List the inventory ID of the virtual machine with the command:
8 n0 A, q6 s+ e0 Q( O4 v* m
vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms |grep <vm name>
Note: The first column of the output shows the vmid.
" S0 N5 Q# y( ?
+ }. }7 Z% D3 H+ W1 uCheck the power state of the virtual machine with the command:
- Y* Q/ J/ w0 F6 L; B, Z
vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate <vmid>
/ r( X- |6 q) @6 r  TPower-on the virtual machine with the command:

1 f' q1 z( b) H  |4 n' `vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on <vmid>
关机就是把 power.on 改为 power.off 就可以了.

另外还有一种方法, 只能控制关机:

& M8 Q8 S5 y8 i- T  }0 T4 kGet a list of running virtual machines, identified by World ID, UUID, Display Name, and path to the .vmx configuration file, using this command:

esxcli vm process list # 只显示开机的虚拟机列表
' E2 r' b/ y  F6 NPower off one of the virtual machines from the list using this command:

esxcli vm process kill --type=[soft,hard,force] --world-id=WorldNumber
Notes: Three power-off methods are available. Soft is the most graceful, hard performs an immediate shutdown, and force should be used as a last resort.
