Continuing from Part1 of new vSphere 4.1 CLI Utilities, here are few more:

1. vmkload_app64 is a 64bit version of the VMkernel application loader.

[root@esx4-1 bin]# /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmkload_app64 -h

--help|-h This message

2. vmware-usbarbitrator is a utility for allowing VMs to connect to the host's USB devices.
[root@esx4-1 bin]# /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-usbarbitrator

3. vprobed looks to be a utility for running the vProbe daemon.

[root@esx4-1 bin]# /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vprobed -h

Error: vprobed takes no arguments.
4. vmkiscsiadm was a pretty well known tool used to configure and troubleshoot iSCSI on ESX. However, it has been removed with the release of vSphere 4.1.

5. vmkiscsi-tool has been updated with some new options:

[root@esx4-1 ~]# /usr/sbin/vmkiscsi-tool -h
vmkiscsi-tool -h --help
-A --Authentication
-C --connection
-D --discovery
-E --session
-I --iSCSIname
-L --Lun
-M --MTU
-N --Network: network properties
-O --Associate: Associate/Disassociate route.
-P --Phba
-R --discoveryStatus : Print discovery status.
-S --static: Static Discovery Targets
-T --Target
-U --Route: Route table.
-V --Nic
-W --Parameter
-X --Reset
-Y --SetNicList
-c --ipconfig: enable/disable DHCP, ARP redirect
-d --dnsserver
-e --ethernet: Link Status
-g --gateway
-i --ipAddress
-k --Alias
-n --iSNS
-p --Pnp: Physical Network Portal properties (pnic)
-q --Lnp: Logical Network Portal properties (vmknic)
-s --subnetmask
-v --version
Subcommands
-l --list
-r --remove
-a --add
-m --authMethod : specify method for add/remove
-b --mutual CHAP
-j --persist changes
-y --per dynamic discovery
-x --per static discovery
-z --per network portal (binded vmknic)
-t --per target
-u --per isid(session)
-f --flag: set a discovery or authentication flag
adapterName
Combine -l with an option to display the current information.

6. vmkiscsi-test is a new iSCSI utility to test various components and provides a summary at the end with the checks that ran, failed and passed:

[root@esx4-1 ~]# /usr/sbin/vmkiscsi-test

7. vmfs-support is a new shell script that uses vmkfstools -D and recursively dumps information about all files given a VMFS folder or file (This utility is only found on ESXi 4.1).

~ # ash /sbin/vmfs-support
Usage: vmfs-support /

~ # ash /sbin/vmfs-support /vmfs/volumes/iSCSI-1/

vmkfstools -D /vmfs/volumes/iSCSI-1/.fbb.sf

8.  The well known nc utility has been added to unsupported Busybox console of ESXi 4.1.

~ # /bin/nc
usage: nc [-46DdhklnrStUuvzC] [-i interval] [-p source_port]
[-s source_ip_address] [-T ToS] [-w timeout] [-X proxy_version]
[-x proxy_address[:port]] [hostname] [port[s]]

9. vdu is a new utility that provides disk utilization information, similar to that of UNIX/Linux du (This utility is only found on ESXi 4.1).
