When I need to find an open IP, this is a decent way to do it. I wish there were a way to find IPs that don’t respond, but this works for now. This won’t work if your network bans ICMP traffic, or your host doesn’t respond, but is alive.

Register - vmware-cmd register -s /vmfs/volumes/OS_Store/beyond01/beyond01.vmx
