Hi,
I'am trying to enable SSH on our ESXi4 Host.
I've followed this instruction:
1.Go to the ESXi console and press alt+F1
2.Type: unsupported
3.Enter the root password(No prompt, typing is blindly)
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
But when I try to connect I get the Message Network error, connection refused.
Any Ideas??
have rebooted the machine now its working
to kill the process, you could have types ps | grep inetd
Then taken used the returned process id as follows:
kill -HUP processid
Out of interest... why do yo want to use SSH? Ive spent a while looking at what we could now do without using SSH, and have chosen to move to ESXi 4... and im mandating that noone use SSH anymore, as anything we would have previously done via SSH we can do another way.
Additional step is nedded:
through the VI client:
Configure----
>Advanced settings -
>VMkernel
Make sure this parameter:"VMkernel.boot.techSupportMode" is set to check on
