Document: Access to "console" and ESX 3.5 Update 2 bug

David Marquina the other day told me of a bug that has the ESX 3.5 Update 2:
"It seems that the FT_HOSTS and other HA configuration files are left with the first IP assigned to it. In my case via DHCP. At the moment it happens in ESX3i and clear, I can not open the files "
As I mentioned, this bug has been fixed in VC 2.5 Update 3 . You can see the Release Notes .

Anyway at that time saw the need to enter the "console" ESXi (which is not nothing but a Busy Box : a command that carries within a few compiled linux binary and it seems to MS-DOS command.com). For this I leave you this link: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/ 1003677 we explain how to enter the console by pressing Alt + F1 and typing "unsupported" .
Once inside you can do whatever we want.

take this opportunity to recommend that inside you can enable ssh access:

• editato / etc / inetd.conf (using vi)
• Remove the comment # from the line of SSH
• Kill and restart the inetd process (or reboot the server)

ssh access I think is important in case we have to go for any reason, if we change the settings of the HBA driver for better performance obtenr, if we use thin disks provisionned ...
