Good morning,

I have several servers running ESX 3.0.2. I can use putty to ssh into all of them except one.

2. if not how do start it

Thanks

If this is truley your issue, the command is

service sshd restart

other options are

Usage: service < option > | --status-all | [ service_name command ]

chkconfig --list (this will show you the status of the services) run level 3 4 5 should be set to "on"

[rriva]

to check if the service is running :

/etc/init.d/sshd status

To restart the service

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

check if from your client you can see the 22/tcp port open.

What do you mean for "can't connect", you can't login as root or you can't connect at all.

Thanks,

I couldn't connect at all. I realized that my machine may have been on the wrong vlan so I ran the following command and changed the service console to the correct VLAN ID:

<esxcfg-vswitch vSwitch0 -p "Service Console" -v 102> 102 being the correct Vlan id..

Thanks again for your help.
