Hi,
I have a problem after rebooting i am getting shell.set unknown command error
How to fix it
Thanks
Hi Sibsbt,
This may be due to a non-clean shutdown of the VCSA.
Please see this post for details: fsck of vCenter Server Appliance 6.0 partitions - CormacHogan.com
Do not reboot
Do the clean shut down then power on , issue will resolve
Hi,
Yes it was a clean shutdown BY pressing F12 in the console
I tried couple of times , it worked once
again gone to the same situation
Thanks
Hi,
I think the below link is for "boot failure " ?
Please correct me if i am wrong
Thanks
Hi,
If in case it does not work , I have a clone of vcenter . Can I use this machine ?
After this clone taken I have created vm's in the dc ,Does it matter ?
Thanks
When you boot the VCSA, see if you spot any FAILED red errors on the right in relation to "file system not accessible", if you do (and even if the VCSA loads up, you may still have this issue in the blog post I mentioned)
This happens when the / Filesystems reached 100%. The existing services may running but spawning new processes or creating files are not working any more. A reboot cant fix this problem because the linux try to create new files or append to the existing logs... but with no space left on the device you cant bypass the vmware shell wapper.
You can boot into the SUSE linux by following this VMware Knowledge Base
Try a "df -h" and you see maybe /var/log with 5.xGB. Free up some space be deleting rm -rf *.bz2 files.
Enter into this dir and type in "du -sh *"
Free up some space be deleting rm -rf *.bz2 files
Than check for the big one... most likly its audit/audit.log. YOu can override it by "> audit.log" and reboot the VCSA.
For the non US keyboard user which have problems with a "du -sh * | more" try "du -sh * > asa" and than less asa or vi asa and scroll within the listing.

Appliance Shell commands depends on applmgmt service in VCSA.. In this situation, looks like applmgmt service is not starting during server boot which results in error "error connecting to the server". Changing default shell for root will help if login works atleast once. You can change the default shell for root to /bin/bash using command "chsh -s /bin/bash root" or change it in /etc/passwd file by booting in single user mode (modify "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/appliancesh" to "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash")
Thanks
