Access the ESXi Service Console

Here is a brief write-up on how to access the Service Console of VMware ESXi. As a disclaimer, this should only be done under the direct supervision of a VMware Support Engineer.

1.From the ESXi console summary screen hit ALT-F1.

2.Enter the word “unsupported” (without quotes).

3.Enter in the root password for your system.

4.Be careful Now edit the inetd.conf file to enable remote SSH into this console;

1.Edit /etc/inetd.conf (vi /etc/inetd.conf).

2.Remove the # sign in front of the SSH line.

3.Kill and restart the inetd process.

1.) ps -ef |grep inetd

2.) kill -HUP # pid is the Process ID, the first number displayed from ps -ef

 4.SSH into the IP of your ESXi server, using your root login/password.

Use Windows domain controller and authentication [checked]
Security model:      Active Directory
Domain / Workgroup:  domain
Domain controllers:     dc.domain.tld
ADS realm:  DOMAIN.TLD
Join domain:      [checked]
Administrator username:     domain\Administrator
Administrator password:     password

I would need to submit the form once or twice to get the Openfiler server to showup in the Computers OU on the DC.  (waiting 2-3 minutes between attempts)
After it appears I wait another 3 minutes to see if the groups populate on OF.
If not I repeat the above again, and OF pulls the groups down.

It’s a little weird, but it’s consistent for me.
