per http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.6:evmwareg there are 2 recommendations to make these binaries setuid/setgid root. Now I can readily guess that the former is so that the command can run unimpeded on all mounted filesystems which are naturally owned root:root. And the latter is because 'vim-cmd' will need root to change the host environment be it mounts, devices, adn interfaces.
One problem. The changes don't survive a reboot you know... (esxi)
I meant to include this for further reading.

Should be enough to add the following to /etc/rc.local, on the ESXi host:
- - opennebula -
mkdir -p /var/tmp/one
chown -R oneadmin:oneadmin /var/tmp/one
mkdir -p /var/lib/one/datastores
chown -R oneadmin:oneadmin /var/lib/one/
ln -s /vmfs/volumes/0 /var/lib/one/datastores/0
ln -s /vmfs/volumes/1 /var/lib/one/datastores/1 - <link the rest of your datastores here as well>
mkdir /etc/ssh/keys-oneadmin
chmod 755 /etc/ssh/keys-oneadmin
echo "<id_pub.rsa content>" > /etc/ssh/keys-oneadmin/authorized_keys
chown oneadmin:oneadmin /etc/ssh/keys-oneadmin/authorized_keys
chmod +s /sbin/vmkfstools
