The ESX driver works with an out-of-the-box installation of ESX/ESXi, just use:

virsh -c esx://rain3

The ESX driver doesn't use libvirtd or any remote transport mechanisms
of libvirt, it uses the remote VI API, that is based on https. So
you'll have to setup the certificates for https correctly, or
configure the driver to use http instead (virsh -c
esx://rain3?transport=http), if you have your ESXi configured to allow
http connections.
