How to get own vm name in guest environment

Question

I want to change VM setting in my own guest VM. I can connect to vCenter but I'm not detecting my own VM.

What is a simple way to get the VM name?

I want to get own vm name. This environment is In VM. I know vCenter information but I don't know own VM information. — user9960442, Jul 03 '18 at 08:21
Can I get own VM name by vmware-toolbox-cmd? This environment is Linux. — user9960442, Jul 03 '18 at 08:23

Pretty sure you can use a simple Powershell command like so:

get-vmmserver localhost | get-vm "vmname" | select Name, ComputerName, HostName | format-list

PowerCLI allows you to do this simply with:

Connect-VIServer -Server vcenterservername.fqdn
Get-VM -Name vmname

You can also just connect to the web client and perform a search at: https://vcenterservername.fqdn/
