Ces commandes sont à effectuer directement dans une console en mode SSH (exemple Putty) :

---

SOLUTION 1, on utilise VIM-cmd :

On the ESXi console, enter Tech Support mode and log in as root.

Get a list of all registered virtual machines, identified by their VMID, Display Name, and path to the .vmx configuration file, using this command:

vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms

To get the current state of a virtual machine

vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate VMID

Power off the virtual machine using the VMID found in Step 2 and run:

vim-cmd vmsvc/power.off VMID

Note: If the virtual machine fails to power off, use the following command:

vim-cmd vmsvc/power.shutdownVMID

 

---

SOLUTION 2, on utilise esxcli sur ESXi 5 :

The esxcli command can be used locally or remotely to power off a virtual machine running on ESXi 5.0.

Open a console session where the esxcli tool is available, either in the ESXi Shell, the vSphere Management Assistant (vMA), or the location where the vSphere Command-Line Interface (vCLI) is installed.

Get 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

Power off one of the virtual machines from the list using this command:

esxcli vm process kill –type=[soft,hard,force] –world-id=WorldNumber

Note: 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.

Repeat step 2 and validate that the virtual machine is no longer running.
