We are transitioning to ESXi and will be using vMA for Host management. I have everything configured for AD auth and can do several Host tasks. Here are a couple things I haven't figured out how to do from vMA:
1. Getting directory listings of ESXi 4.1 Hosts. When target is set to ESXi Host. (directory listings are still from vMA).
2. Viewing or editing files on the ESXi 4.1 Hosts. When target is set to ESXi Host. (files and directory listings are still from vMA)
3. I noticed these existing .pl files in "/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps " on the vMA server but, I'm not familiar with the syntax to run them on a Host target from vMA.
