Configure auto-start for virtual machines on VMware ESX 3.0

07 Sep 2009

No Comment  VMware

Once you’re into the host computer using ssh access, first you have to find out if autostart is enabled or not, using this command:

~ # grep -i enable /etc/vmware/hostd/vmAutoStart.xml

If the output is nothing, it means that autostart is not enabled. So using vi editor, you’re going to edit the next file:

~ # vi /etc/vmware/hostd/vmAutoStart.xml

After the sixth line of this file just add the next line:

<enabled>true</enabled>

Then save the changes and autostart has been enabled.

No Comment  How To, VMware

1. Press ALT + F1 in your VMware ESXi console.

2. Type ‘unsupported’ (you won’t see what you type). Press Enter.

3. Enter your root password.

4. Edit file /etc/inetd.conf (vi /etc/inetd.conf).

5. Remove comment character ‘#‘ from line starts with ‘ssh‘. In my ESXi 3.5 U3, it’s line 32.

6. Save your changes.

7. Restart management service /sbin/services.sh

It’s possible you need to kill process inetd to finally enable SSH.
