Get-EsxCliCommand -EsxCli $EsxCli.$SubLevel -Name ($Name $SubLevel) # Call this function recursive for a sublevel # Write the current command to the output stream Lists all the PowerCLI ESXCLI network commands for server. PS C:\> Get-EsxCliCommand -EsxCli $work -Name '$work' Lists all the PowerCLI ESXCLI commands for server. PS C:\> Get-EsxCliCommand -EsxCli $esxcli A function like Get-EsxCliCommand that calls itself is called a recursive function. Then the function calls itself for each CodeProperty. It does this by using the PowerShell Get-Member cmdlet to list each CodeProperty property and CodeMethod method of the EsxCliImpl or EsxCliElementImpl object that is given as input. The Get-EsxCliCommand PowerCLI function lists all the possible PowerCLI ESXCLI commands. The Get-EsxCliCommand functionīecause I could find the right answer using the Get-Member cmdlet, I decided to write a PowerCLI script that can give me all the possible PowerCLI ESXCLI commands. PowerCLI equivalent of the ESXCLI ”esxcli storage vmfs snapshot mount -l “DATASTORE”‘ command. Because Papires wanted to specify a volumelabel and probably wanted a persistent mount, I came to the following answer to his question. I now knew that the mount CodeMethod needs three parameters: nopersist, volumelabel and volumeuuid. Output of the PowerCLI ‘$ | Get-Member’ command.

Finally I found the right answer using the PowerShell Get-Member cmdlet. And also a search in Google did not help me very much. There is not much documentation available about the ESXCLI commands in PowerCLI. However I was struggling with the ‘-l “DATASTORE”‘ part. I had not done very much with ESXCLI in PowerCLI, but I knew that it was something like ‘$.mount’. Last week there was a question in the VMware VMTN Communities VMware vSphere PowerCLI forum from Papires who asked how you can convert the ESXCLI command ‘esxcli storage vmfs snapshot mount -l “DATASTORE”‘ into a PowerCLI command.
