將 esxi 4 的 sshd 打開：

Unsupported Console and SSH on ESXi 4

This will likely not generate as much fanfare as it did for the 3.5 release of ESXi, however I can confirm that it does indeed still work in vSphere ESXi 4. This is the procedure I used to get it up and running on my “Lab” box.

1. alt-f1 (Note: As pointed out below, you will not see your typing on this screen, just trust us, it is there).
2. unsupported
3. root pw
4. vi /etc/inetd.conf
5. delete the “#” from ssh
6. services.sh restart

I’ve also poked around a bit, and found that while scp works, sftp does not. Also note that some commenters had to do the following to get this to work: ps aux |grep inetd (getting the PID) and then kill -HUP PID

自己的案例是找到
/vmfs/volumes/Hypervisor3/packages/4.0.0/vmtools/liinux.iso
copy 到 /vmfs/{掛給VM用的storage}

再用vSphere Client 開 VM ,掛上ISO 檔, copy 安裝到Guest機裡，解壓縮安裝
