I just found out how to register and unregister a vm from the command line. Why would I want to do this you say?
Well, lets just say you can’t vmotion a VM because it has physical drives presented to it instead of .vmdk files. Using FTP I coppied the /home/vmware/server folder to another VMWare server and then did the following…
chmod 1777 -R server folder
vmware-cmd register -s /home/vmware/{guestfolder}/{guest}.vmx
And on the old VMWare server I ran:
vmware-cmd unregister -s /home/vmware/{guestfolder}/{guest}.vmx
viola!
