By default, we cannot access it. To enable ssh in vmware, we gonna have to go to the esx server itself and follow those steps:
-Go to the ESXi console and press alt+F1
-Type: unsupported
-Enter the root password(No prompt, typing is blindly)
-At the prompt type “vi /etc/inetd.conf”
-Look for the line that starts with “#ssh” (you can search with pressing “/”)
-Remove the “#” (press the “x” if the cursor is on the character)
-Save “/etc/inetd.conf” by typing “:wq!”
-Restart the management service “/sbin/services.sh restart”
—now u can access it remotely from other host
There exist another way to enable SSH withou usin local console:
