Ok...here it goes... I changed ssh server to run on a non standard port.. I changed it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config as well as I noticed I need to change it in /etc/vmware/firewall/services.xml. After that i have restarted ssh as well as disabled, enabled ssh in the esx firewall and restarted the firewall. Everything is working great. I now ssh into my host on the other port...working perfect. The only thing is Virtual Centre. When I look at the configuration of the host in virtual center it still says that sshServer is running on port 22....which I know it isn't...I can't ssh into the box on that port.
I know that this isn't that big of a deal since everything is working the way it should be, i was just wondering why the changes I made are not reflected in virtual center....any help would be appreciated.
Hello and welcome to the forums.
Try a service vmware-mgmt restart on the host(s) and see if that helps. If not, try restarting the VirtualCenter Server service as well.
Good Luck!

What will this do to all of my vm's? This is a production environment and I would hate for them to all drop at once when I run vmware-mgmt?
service mgmt-vmware restart will not impact your virtual machines.
if possible review this KB before you restart hostd, just to be safe
