How can I edit /etc/hosts file in vshield manager??

Hi,

Can someone help me on how to edit the /etc/hosts/ file in vShield Manager 5.1.2. Since DNS records are not updated - Need to add few ESXi hosts entries in the host file of vShield Manager.

Regards,

KC

To clarifiy more on above question.

The actual question is - How to reach the /etc/hosts file.

You could power down the vShield manager, mount its virtual disk to another VM and edit it that way.

He asked about the vShield manager, not the ESX(i) server.
