Sometimes you need to script a job that SSH’s into another ESX host, problem is you will be prompted for a password—pretty much taking out all the automation aspect of a script.
There is a way around this. Simply generate a public SSH key and place it in an authorized_keys file on your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. ESX host.

A customer asked if I had a reference card with common ESX commands (RCLI, etc) so I sent him three cards, which I’m posting here now for you.
First is the vmreference VI3 card by Forbes Guthrie over at www.vmreference.com
Second and third are VI3 Command References and Linux Command References from the VMware Deploy, Secure & Analyze class.
Enjoy!
