ESXi-Shutdown Single Virtual Machine

To shutdown single virtual machine, you need to get the Vmid:

Using the following command:
vim-cmd vmscv/getallvms
will display the follow:
'Vmid' 'Name' 'File' 'Guest OS' 'Version' 'Annotation'

However, it not reader friendly and any annotation scroll down the screen as seen below:

To get just ‘Vmid’ & ‘Name’ use the following:

vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms | sed '1d' | grep vmx | awk '{if ($1 > 0) print $1"^"$2}'

Now we can shutdown single VM

[root@ESXi:~] vim-cmd vmsvc/power.shutdown 16
[root@ESXi:~]

Notice nothing is returned, so to verify:

[root@ESXi:~] vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate 16
