VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide –
Volume One
Bringing It All Together
The following example shows how to generate a list of the VMFS file systems on an ESXi host that have not been
upgraded to VMFS-5. In this example, we will demonstrate the syntax discovery feature of esxcli.
Start by looking at the namespaces available under the storage namespace by running the
esxcli storage
--help
command, as follows:
Figure 73.
esxcli Namespaces Under Storage from ESXi Shell
We see here that there is a
filesystem
name space. Next, we look to see what namespaces and commands
are available under the
esxcli storage filesystem
namespace by running the
esxcli storage
filesystem --help
command, as follows:
Figure 74.
esxcli Namespaces Under Storage Filesystem from ESXi Shell
We see that there is a
list
command under the
filesystem
namespace that will list all the volumes on the
host along with the VMFS information. We now run the final command,
esxcli storage filesystem
list,
as follows:
