An administrator wants to power on a virtual machine (VM) while connected to an ESXi host using SSH. The VM has the following Name and ID: - VM Name = SQL001 - VMID = 12345 Which command would…

The vim-cmd command is the correct CLI utility available on ESXi hosts for managing virtual machines via the vmsvc namespace. The power.on subcommand requires a numeric VMID as its argument, not the VM display name. Using vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on 12345 matches both the correct tool name and the correct identifier type.

vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on requires a numeric VMID, not a string VM name like SQL001; passing the name instead of the ID will cause the command to fail.

vmware-vim-cmd is not a valid command on ESXi hosts; the correct utility name is vim-cmd, so this command would return a command not found error.

vmware-vim-cmd is not a valid ESXi command, and even if it were, the argument would need to be a numeric VMID rather than the VM display name SQL001.
