Hello
I am wondering if there is a quick and easy command for me to view the contents of the /vmfs folder of a host. I know I would run a simple ls if I was on a console, but in vMA this is not the case. I have to figure there's a way to do it... any help?
(working with ESXi 4.1 & vMA 4.1)

Take a look at using the vSphere SDK for Perl Utilities which is bundled with vMA - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl41/doc/vsperl_util_index.html
You'll want to use dsbrowse.pl which allows you to list contents of a given VMFS volume and it's directories.

another option is the vifs command. This will list the datastores and the -D option will list the contents of the datastore
Hope this helps
