Visit the PowerCLI page on VMware and choose your release to learn about PowerCLI. VMware PowerCLI is a command-line and scripting tool built on Windows PowerShell, and provides more than 600 cmdlets for managing and automating vSphere, vCloud, vRealize Operations Manager, vSAN, NSX-T, VMware Cloud on AWS, VMware HCX, VMware Site Recovery Manager, and VMware Horizon environments. The latest version is of RVTools is 3.11.7 #2 PowerCLI By downloading, you agree to join Veeam’s mailing list, which you can choose to unsubscribe from, but don’t unsubscribe too quickly, Veeam offers some great VMware-related products, many free of charge. The download is free, but you have to register with Veeam before you get your download. It does it fast and in a format that readily exports to Excel. It is able to list information about VMs, CPU, Memory, Disks, Partitions, Network, Floppy drives, CD drives, Snapshots, VMware tools, Resource pools, Clusters, ESX hosts, HBAs, NICs, Switches, Ports, Distributed Switches, Distributed Ports, Service consoles, VM Kernels, Datastores, multi-path info, license info and health checks. RVTools is a VMware utility that connects to your vCenter server and captures every bit of information about your virtual machines (VMs) and your ESXi hosts that you’d want to know. There are dozens of other tools that are quite possibly used more frequently than this top 10. Keep in mind these are only the top 10 that surfaced in my recent poll. Since our podcast only covered the top 10, I want to share all the great tools I discovered in this exercise. As expected, the usual suspects surfaced to the top (i.e RVTools, PowerCLI) but I was amazed at just how many tools were mentioned that I hadn’t heard of. In preparation for this discussion I took to social media to get a general consensus of the most popular tools VMware admins are using these days. On Episode 108 of the Virtually Speaking Podcast, John and I welcomed Duncan Epping and William Lam to discuss the various VMware tools used to manage environments.
