Using ESXCLI with PowerCLI

PowerCLI provides you the capability to use ESXCLI through its console.

PowerCLI provides two approaches for working with ESXCLI:

• Through the Get-ESXCli cmdlet, which provides direct access to the ESXCLI namespaces, applications, and commands.
• Through .NET methods, which you use to create managed objects that correspond to specific ESXCLI applications. To access the ESXCLI, you can call methods on these managed objects.
  Note: To call a method of an ESXCLI object, you must provide values for all parameters. If you want to omit a given parameter, pass $null as its argument.
