VMware Tools primarily offers insights into the interaction between a virtual machine (VM) and its host, providing details about the host server, its version, and certain hardware aspects, but it doesn't inherently provide direct access to Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) details like IP or hostname. To ascertain HCI-specific information from within a VM, leveraging VMware's vSphere API, PowerCLI, or using network commands within the guest OS might offer clues about the infrastructure. However, direct access to HCI specifics may be limited due to security constraints, and accessing detailed HCI information often requires administrative access to the vSphere environment or HCI management tools like vSphere Client or vCenter Server.
