The esxcli command set is based in a "namespace" model. It's kinda weird & convoluted.

Usage

Usage: esxcli [options] {namespace}+ {cmd} [cmd options]

Options:
  --formatter=FORMATTER
                        Override the formatter to use for a given command. Available formatter:
                        keyvalue, csv, xml
  --debug               Enable debug or internal use options
  --version             Display version information for the script
  -?, --help            Display usage information for the script
