There are too many \texttt{vmware-vim-cmd} commands to list them all in this quickref. You can get an overview of the commands by running \texttt{vmware-vim-cmd} without an option. The commands are divided in subfolders. To get help there run it with the subfolder name (e.g. \texttt{vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc}:

Normally you don't need to edit the config files by hand. It's better to use the tools which VMware provides for these cases (e.g. network configuration with \texttt{vmware-vswif} changes ip of the Service Console, the necessary config files and \texttt{vmware-advcfg} changes settings in \texttt{/etc/vmware/esx.conf}).
