Commands in cloud computing for storage
The vCLI came from RCLI when vSphere was released and it stands for vSphere Command Line Interface.
It is a group of Perl scripts that gives the same interface to several of the famous “esxcfg-*” commands which are available in the typical ESX through the Service Console.
The vCLI is formally supported on Windows and Linux operating systems but there are users that were able to make it work on Mac OS X and Solaris. Below are some of the updated utilities available in vCLI 4.0:
-

vicfg-advcfg / esxcfg-advcfg
