Hello -
New installation of 6.7.0 build 14320388 and have the following in %firstboot section:
vim-cmd hostsvc/enable_ssh 2>&1 >> /tmp/log
vim-cmd hostsvc/start_ssh 2>&1 >> /tmp/log
vim-cmd hostsvc/enable_esx_shell 2>&1 >> /log
vim-cmd hostsvc/start_esx_shell 2>&1 >> log
This has worked previously with no issues. With this latest build, neither SSH nor the ESX shell are getting enabled. The firstboot is running as I get the log file and other commands in the section are running, however this just isn't. There's no errors spit out anywhere either.
Note also that a esxcli network interface ipv4 get command returns an error of "Connection failed".
I tried adding /etc/init.d/vpxa status and hostd status to the log, and they both show as running.
Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance.
Did you disabled secure boot in case of UEFI boot??
Otherwise %firstboot% won't work.
Thanks for the reply. Secure Boot is not enabled. In fact these are Legacy boot systems.
