Does anyone know the function of the command “vmware-vim-cmd vimsvc/connect (vimid)”. I thought that after executing this command with correct virtual machine id, I will be connected to the shell of this virtual machine. But it only shows “already connected” and exits. Am I making some mistake in the syntax of command? Or the function of this command is completely different from what I have thought of?

    I don’t have the VI Toolkit installed locally, but I did find this in the docs. Try:

    vmware-vim-cmd help vimsvc/connect

    It should show something like this page. Since the valid products include vpxa and vpxd, I think this method is connecting to the host or vCenter rather than a guest console.

    Hope that helps a bit.
