Open Engineering Console vRA

[rohi38rtt]

I want to know how we can open/use the developer console in vRA appliance server.

The shell-ui has two options one as shell-ui-app https://<appliance_url>/shell-ui-app but it redirects back to /vcac and another is the shell console inside the server, when enabled gives the engineering console for updating and do admin operations on the appliance.

Does anybody know how to enable the same ??

What is it you're trying to do, exactly? I'm not sure what you mean by an "engineering console" in this context.

So recently vmware has provided open information regarding Tech Support Mode in NSX for vSphere. This mode was only used by vmware engineering team to debug at NSX at root level. (kb article 2149630)

Similarly, there is also a Tech Support Mode for vRA which is only used by vmware engineering team and is yet not declared public but it exists.

My question clearly is does anyone know the same because it opens using a command that is hidden.

I have not heard of such a console, but I'll ask around to see what I can find.
