  To review the ARP and ND cache for the VMkernel network interfaces on an ESX or ESXi host, use the local or remote esxcli command. This command is available at the local console of the ESX/ESXi host, and usable remotely from the vSphere Command Line Interface (vCLI) or from the vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) appliance. For installation and/or usage instruction, see the relevant documentation. Open a console session to the location where the esxcli command is available. Open a console to the ESX or ESXi host.

In ESXi 5.1, VMware added S.M.A.R.T. functionality to monitor hard drive health. The S.M.A.R.T. feature records various operation parameters from physical hard drives attached to a local controller. The feature is part of the firmware on the circuit board of a physical hard disk (HDD and SSD). To read the current data from a disk: Determine the device parameter to use by running the command: esxcli storage core device list   Read the data from the device: esxcli storage core device smart get -d device Where device is a value found in step 1.   The expected output is a list with all…

First off, there are a couple of…
