How to Use Console of ESXi 4.0

hi..

Am using the ESXi 4.0 server and am able to access through Vsphere client.

I need to use the console of ESXi 4.0.

We can easily use the console of ESX4.1 by using ALT+F1. How it is possible in ESXi 4.0

Regards

Chida

ESXi does not have the Full Red Hat Service Console like ESX does. What are you looking to do?

With ESXi there is a small busybox console that is called "tech support mode" which you can do a very limited amount of things. The recommend way of doing most of the tasks you previously did with the Service Console is with the VMware (vCLI) Remote Command Line Utilities.
