Enable SSH in ESXi 4.0
By default SSH is disabled in ESXi however you can enable it by follow these steps:
- At the Administration Windows press Alt+F1. You will get a black screen
- Type the word unsupported and press Enter
- Enter your root password and press Enter, you will get a prompt
- Change directory into /etc
#cd /etc - Open inetd.conf in vi
#vi inetd.conf - arrow down until you see #ssh stream tcp…
- With the cursor on the # type x to delete the #
- Type :wq! to exit vi and save your changes
- Restart host or restart inetd process
Restart inetd process
- Now we need to find the process running inetd. To do that run the following command
#ps -a grep inetd - Find the process number, lets pretend it is 1234. Run the following command to kill the inetd process
#kill 1234 - Now we need to start inetd again
- #inetd
- You then will be able to access host via SSH
