Restart management via ssh on ESXi 4.1 agents

I found how to activate the remote support Tech (MST) on ESXi 4.1 Mode and have open an ssh session to the host.  However, I don't find a way to restart the management agents.  All the docs say to use the local TSM interface and use the menu structure to do this, but this only seems to be available when you are in local mode.  How do I (or is it possible of) restart these via a remote session (ssh) TSM?

Hello.

It seems that /sbin/services.sh restart will work, but may not be supported.  You might want to research a little more first, or at least to try it in a test environment.

Good luck!

  • Command update the esxi update 5.1 to 5.1 2 via SSH

    Could someone send me the command update ESXi 5.1 5.1U2? (assuming I already downloaded and copied the update to the host)

    I know it's something like esxcli the software profile install d [something, something, etc.], but I think that I've got the syntax.

    THX!

    VMware KB: Installation of patches on an ESXi host from the command-line 5.x

    1. Download the update and transfer it to any store of data that is available for the ESXi host
    2. Connect to the host via SSH ESXi
    3. Put the ESXi host in maintenance mode.

    # vim - cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

    4. go to the directory on the data store where the patch file was transferred to and verify that the file exists:

    # cdvmfs/volumes/Datastore/DirectoryName
    # ls

    Verify that you can see the file that you downloaded. I guess that the file you downloaded is in zip format. In this case,.

    5 # software esxcli vib install d ' "/vmfs/volumes/Datastore/DirectoryName/PatchName.zip".

    More options are in VMware KB. Please see that as well.

  • Deletion of snapshots via SSH

    I have a RN102 with 2x3TB red WD leads to XRAID2. I deleted all my photos except one (instant action is 191 GB). However, snapshots take up a lot of space:

    He has not recovered "over time", so I thought to delete manually via SSH. My gaze of 5 actions 4 like this where each record contains a lot of data (taken copies of my actions):

    Would I ruin anything by deleting them?

    Also, is it the result of a bug? Why space is not recovered when I delete images via the GUI?

    Thank you!

    Here are the shots that have not been successfully upgraded when you updated of the pre - 6.2.x 6.2.x firmware (or later).

    You could do

    # touch .force_snapshots_upgrade
    # systemctl restart readynasd

    These shots should then be upgraded and you can then delete the admin web UI.

    The space is recovered only when you delete pictures if the snapshots that you delete contains the only copy of certain data. If the current data or snapshots that you do not delete also contain spatial data not to be released to the top. Also, when you delete snapshots that the system will have to recursively update other snapshots. It can take some time if you have many snapshots.

    Once you have removed all the clichés that you want and the use of volume of less than 80% return, I would say that you then run a balance.

  • ASA5505 management via VPN/Anyconnect without group

    I have 2 questions about the configuration of the SAA.

    The first is related to the SSL VPN configuration. Just one group of users to which you connect to our main office via remote access. Is there a way to configure SSL VPN to not display a group selection?

    I have the omission of the list of the groups-tunnel-enable command and configuration group on user accounts locking, but neither work.

    Secondly, I am at a loss on how to configure ssh to allow users connected via VPN connections. I guess:

    SSH 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside

    with 172.16.1.0 24 is the ip pool assigned to remote access vpn users would do so, however, it's a no go. How can users of remote access (which are for the most part, all technicians) granted the possibility to connect to the device?

    Thanks for your help.

    To be able to manage the ASA via SSH via a VPN tunnel, you will need to enter the configuration command "in man".

  • 'customer support files required' problem connecting using vSphere via SSH tunnel

    I am trying to connect to my ESX Server using the vSphere by tunnel via SSH client. I did in the past, but it does not work now. I am fwding ports appropriate (443, 902, 903) and have done the "hosts" file entry appropriate, as well. When I try to connect, I get the expected certificate error, and when I reject, I get a dialog box saying that I need to download the "required client supports files ', and of course I can't download them from the site vsphereclient.vmware.com while I'm in the tunnel. I'm confused about why I get this message, because I can connect to the ESX Server using the installed version of vSphere, if I directly (i.e. without a SSH tunnel).

    Any thoughts? I am in urgent need of remotely administer my VMs, any help would be most appreciated.

    It turns out that VMWare Workstation is listening on these ports, and PuTTY tunneling is silently failing... so it seems that I connect to my ESX box, but not really. Deactivation of VMware Workstation, Server and the authorization server to fix it.

  • Start a virtual machine on Linux using Workstation via ssh and vmrun 10.0

    I have 10 Workstation under Linux of Kali.

    If I connect via ssh and start using vmrun I get operation cancelled.

  • SSH access ESXi 4.1.0 fails

    Hi all

    I have a problem with SSH access on my server ESXi 4.1.0. The problem is that it keeps it all the time.

    Precesely more, I go to the tab "Configuration", "Safety profile", "Properties", "Remote Tech Support (SSH)" and configure the server running (I tried all three options). Then and for a few minutes, I can connect to the server using ssh, both with the root and non-root users. But after a few minutes the ssh server stops.

    I have no idea what's going on. Could you give me a hint to solve this problem?

    Thanls a lot for your help.

    Kind regards

    Agustin

    Hello

    Welcome to the community

    But after a few minutes the ssh server stops.

    Right, this is due to default security setting that stop ssh after a certain time (don't remember what are the exact numbers). If you want to enable SSH permanently you need to go to the screen of the ESX console and enable SSH from there

  • Restart Management Agents... now does not

    Hi guys

    I had to do some troubleshooting and recommendations I restarted management agents (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003490( )

    To restart the management on the ESX host agents:

    1. Mgmt-vmware restart the service.

    2. service vmware-vpxa restart.

    but after that my host is red and shows does not and all the VMs disconnected say system...

    How can I recover it?

    Thank you very much

    This is normal and should recover in a few minutes.  You should always be able to connect to your guests and the host without any problem.  Restart management agents to disconnect and reconnect the host and VM on and in the inventory.

  • Installation on Debian via SSH?

    Hello world

    I wonder if it is possible to install the latest version of ColdFusion on Debian using SSH (the only means to access my server I have are SSH and FTP)? If so, are there articles in the knowledge base or tutorials about it?

    I don't see why not, I install on Redhat/CentOS repeatedly via SSH. Assuming that there are no problems related to Deb, it should be like any other Linux installation.

    No real need of tutorials be honest, if it works then it is just a case of following the on-screen guests, the default values are normally further.
