How to enable SSH for ESXi


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”
