It wants root ssh access to the ESX servers. That ends my testing. It's disappointing that the tools which looked quite interesting requires security to be lowered. I'm no expert but since it appears to be using ssh, why not connect as a non-privledged user and use sudo in the commands? Wayne I downloaded ESX manager and fired it up.

The possible values in the pulldown box are 8, 24, 56, 120, 248, 504, and 1016. So, applying this 8 port offset advancement, here's a sample script: esxcfg-vswitch -a vm_switch:128 #creates a vswitch with 120 ports Not matching a possible value in the VIC will result in the pulldown box being blank showing no value.
