como ativar o ssh no VMware ESXi

HOWTO: ESXi and SSH

I’ve noticed many of the hits on my blog are related to ESXi. One of the most asked questions is how can I SSH to an ESXi hosts? Looking at my wordpress stats, this is also one of the top searches.

By default this isn’t possible. But there’s a way to get this working, just do the following:

1. Go to the ESXi console and press alt+F1
2. Type: unsupported
3. Enter the root password
4. At the prompt type “vi /etc/inetd.conf”
5. Look for the line that starts with “#ssh” (you can search with pressing “/”)
6. Remove the “#” (press the “x” if the cursor is on the character)
7. Save “/etc/inetd.conf” by typing “:wq!”
8. Restart the management service “/sbin/services.sh restart”

Done!
