Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The esxcfg-mpath command available at ESXi's command-line interface can be used to view the multipathing information corresponding to the LUN."

A block of code is set as follows:

https://<IP Address or FQDN>:9443/vsphere-client

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

esxcli storage filesystem list

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Navigate to Home | Hosts and Clusters. Click on the Cluster option and then click on Hosts."
