RE: ESXi newbie - question about data stores

[Benjamin Zachary - Lists]

The service restart doesn't work on 3.5u3 you have to kill the service via
kill -HUP | grep inetd or something like that. Lots of documentation on
doing it, and I have it enabled on all my boxes in production.

How to enable ssh for esxi

1) At the console press ALT-F1 
2) type unsupported in the console and press Enter.(You will not see the
text)
3) If you typed in unsupported correctly, you will see a command line login.
Enter the password for the root login.
4) Edit the file inetd.conf and find the line that begins with #ssh and
remove the #. 
6) restart the inetd services by running the command /sbin/services.sh
restart

You can use SSH in ESXi, it's just unsupported by Vmware.

Might not be able to do that with esxi as it doesn't have a service
console, so maybe no sshd

Use the VIClient. Double click the datastore, and there should be a
button for Upload.
