Table 20. esxcfg-nics Replacement Commands (Continued) esxcfg-nics Option ESXCLI Command Description --list -l --speed -s esxcfg-rescan The esxcfg-rescan command rescans the storage configuration. In vSphere 5, equivalent ESXCLI commands are available. In addition, ESXCLI supports several other rescan command. Run esxcli storage core adapter rescan --help. esxcfg-vmknic network nic list network nic get network nic set --speed= Table 21. esxcfg-rescan Replacement Commands List information about all the network adapters. Use network nic get to list information about one specific adapter, for example esxcli network nic get -n vmnic0 Set the speed at which a given network adapter should run. Valid values for speed are 10, 100, 1000, or 10000. esxcfg-rescan Option ESXCLI Command Description -a|--add storage core adapter rescan --type=add -d|--delete storage core adapter rescan --type=delete --adapter Scan for added devices. Scan removing dead devices -A|--all storage core adapter rescan Scan all adapters. By default, the command scans all adapters. You can specify individual adapters by using the --adapter option. -u|--update storage core adapter rescan --type=update --adapter Scan existing paths and update their state. The esxcfg-vmknic command adds, deletes, and modifies VMkernel network interfaces. In vSphere 5, equivalent ESXCLI commands are available. Table 22. esxcfg-vmknic Replacement Commands esxcfg- option ESXCLI Command Description --add --ip --netmask network ip interface add Add a VMkernel NIC to the system. When the command completes successfully, the newly added VMkernel NIC is enabled. --delete network ip interface remove Remove a VMkernel NIC. --disable -D network ip interface set --interface-name= --enabled=[true|false] --dvs-name -s --dvport_id Not supported. Not supported. The ESXCLI command enables or disables the specified VMkernel NIC.
Table 22. esxcfg-vmknic Replacement Commands (Continued) esxcfg- option ESXCLI Command Description --enable network ip interface ipv4 set --interface-name= --enable-ipv6 -6 [true | false] --ip -i esxcfg-volume network ip interface ipv6 set --enable-dhcpv6 network ip interface ipv6 address [list|add|remove] network ip interface ipv4 set --interface-name= network ip interface ipv6 set --interface-name= --list -l network ip interface list network ip interface ipv4 list network ip interface ipv6 list --mtu network ip interface set --interface-name= --mtu= --netmask -n network ip interface ipv4 set --interface= --netmask= network ip interface ipv4 set --interface= --netmask= --peerdns -p network ip interface ipv4 set --interface= --peer-dns=[true|false] network ip interface ipv6 set --interface= --peer-dns=[true|false] --portgroup --unset-ip -U Not needed. Not needed. Command-Line Management in vSphere 5 for Service Console Users Set and enable the specified VMkernel NIC if it is disabled. Enable IPv6 for the next boot; manage the IPv6 address. The IP address to be used for the VMkernel NIC. If you set a static IPv4 address, you must specify the --netmask option in same command. List VMkernel network interfaces. List IPv4 addresses assigned to the system. List IPv6 addresses assigned to the system. MTU for the interface being created. Used at the top-level ip namespace, not inside the ipv4 or ipv6 namespace. IP netmask(X.X.X.X) to be used for the VMkernel NIC. Setting an IP netmask requires that the --interface option be given in same command. Set peer DNS. If set, the system uses the host name, IP address and domain returned by DHCP. Valid only for DHCP. The esxcfg-volume command manages LVM snapshot or replica volumes. In vSphere 5, equivalent ESXCLI commands are available in the esxcli storage filesystem and in the esxcli storage vmfs namespaces. Table 23. esxcfg-volume Replacement Commands esxcfg-volume Option ESXCLI Command Description --list -l storage vmfs snapshot list --mount -m --persistent -M --resignature --umount -u storage vmfs snapshot mount storage vmfs snapshot resignature storage vmfs snapshot unmount List unresolved snapshot LUNs or replicas of VMFS volumes. Mount a snapshot or replica of a VMFS volume. Use the --nopersist option to mount the volume non-persistently. Resignature a snapshot or replica volume. Disconnect and unmount an existing VMFS or NAS volume. The command does not delete the configuration for the volume, but removes the volume from the list of mounted volumes and halts all I/O or network traffic for this volume. VMware, Inc. 27
