Do the vCLI and PowerCLI work the same with both ESX and ESXi?
Most of the vCLI and PowerCLI commands work the same on both platforms. There are a few vCLI commands that are not applicable to ESX; these are outlined in Table 1-5 of the vCLI Reference Guide. There are also some specific differences in behavior between some vCLI commands and the equivalent console OS commands; these are outlined in KB1008194.
