VMWare ESX Server
From Notes
List of guests on an ESX host
To list all guests on an ESX host, run the following command:
vmware-cmd -l | awk -F/ '{print $5}' | tr [:lower:] [:upper:] | sort
IPTables/Netfilter
In ESX 3.0 the iptables firewall is enabled with some very restrictive rulesets. To disable this firewall, issue the following two commands from the command line as root:
esxcfg-firewall --allowIncoming esxcfg-firewall --allowOutgoing
Note: it would always be better to configure the firewall to suit your environment rather than disable it.
