NOTE:Dell EMC recommends that
you back up your VMware ESXi configuration after you complete the
initial setup on a routine schedule that fits your datacenter environment.
Backing up your configuration captures the license code (host serial
number).
To back up or restore the configuration
information, use the VMware vSphere CLI. The vSphere CLI is available
in:
vSphere CLI package — vSphere CLI package can be
installed on either Linux or on Microsoft Windows operating systems.
vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) — vMA can be deployed
on an ESXi host.
Both of these software are available for
download from vmware.com. For more information on setting
up and running the vSphere CLI, see the VMware vSphere Command-Line
Interface Installation and Reference Guide and VMware ESXi
Embedded and vCenter Server Setup Guide at vmware.com/support/pubs.
The back up and restore steps are given in this
section considering that:
You have already imported the vSphere CLI to a system
other than the one you want to back up or restore.
You have installed the Windows or Linux management
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
