可能原因处理，更改主机名称，登录esxi控制台
[root@localhost:~] esxcfg-advcfg -s ESX02 /Misc/hostname
Value of HostName is ESX02
[root@ESX02:~]
改名参考文档：
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1010821?lang=zh_CN
继续测试还是不行：
然后参考这个文档：https://communities.vmware.com/thread/594406
运行下面报错：
ovftool --X:logFile=d:\vmware\upload1.log --X:logLevel=verbose --noSSLVerify vi://root:cFnD_MNi#ba@10.20.30.40
运行这个不报错：
ovftool --X:logFile=d:\vmware\upload1.log --X:logLevel=verbose --noSSLVerify vi://root:abc123@10.20.30.40
显然ovftool无法处理密码中的特殊字符。有没有办法绕过这个而不改变root密码?
处理办法：对密码进行URL编码，就像这样
ovftool --X:logFile=d:\vmware\upload1.log --X:logLevel=verbose --noSSLVerify vi://root:cFnD_MNi%23ba@10.20.30.40 /dandianscm d:\vmware
