ESXi 5.0 - ESXCLI
New ESXCLI (**new in 5.0**)
Available from the ESXi Shell and vCLI
Why a new ESXi CLI tool?
Console CLI and remote vCLI different
Need to learn multiple CLIs
Local commands dont work remote, vice-versa
Commands evolved from multiple sources using
different standards
No formal process for adding or updating commands
Inconsistent output and syntax
Output format changes from command to command
Different commands have different input parameters
Remote CLI limited compared to local CLI
ESXCLI establishes a standard with an extensible framework.

Schedule Vmware Tools upgrade to occur at next virtual machine reboot
More Flexible Update ManagerDownloadService (UMDS)

ESXi 5.0 Upgrades with Update Manager
Migration from ESX (Classic) 4.x to ESXi 5.0
4.x hosts migrated from 3.5 cannot be upgraded using Update Manager
Preservation of Configuration Information
Most standard configurations will be preserved, but not all:
Information thats not applicable to ESXi will not be preserved, e.g.
NIS configuration, sudo configuration, things that dont apply to ESXi
Custom configuration files will not be preserved (e.g. scripts added to /etc/rc.d)
Limited Support for upgrading 3rd party components
Limited to Cisco Nexus 1000v and EMC PowerPath in initial release
If Upgrade detects these components it will check the Image Profile to ensure
they are present in the new image
