Wait till they appear and then select Edit.Ĭlick the Slider button for Enable SSH Login and click OK The settings can take a few seconds to appear with Enable / Disable. Then click on your vCenter node you want to enable with SSH.Ī new browser window will open to the vCenter VAMI login page on port 5480. In the left pane click on System Configuration under Deployment. Navigate to the Menu and select Administration. For example ( You can also be redirected to the VAMI from within the vSphere Client in vCenter 7. This can be directly accessed via a URL over port 5480. This method involves enabling SSH via the vCenter Server Management Interface (VAMI). We have a few different methods when needing to enable SSH on vCenter 7.Įnable via the Web Client / VAMI Interface Unless vCenter 7 was deployed with SSH enabled by default it is disabled. If OP would clarify what is going on people could likely be more helpful.Ī vague "how do I do this bad thing, I can't explain why" is generally not a great way to ask a question on the internet FYI.There are often times you may want to directly SSH into the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA). Use their migrate or replicate function or worst case just SSH into the host, and stop the VM, SCP it somewhere else and re-register it. If the goal is to migrate VM's off this host to a newer host Veeam can often reach back really damn far on ESXi versions. You could also try managing the host via host APIs, or potentially an equally ancient version of the workstation might be able to manage the host. Note vCenter Server 5.5 I don't believe is available for download anymore. The other option is to deploy a 5.5 vCenter and have it manage the host (I believe 5.5 would be able to manage it). You could also spin up a virtual machine using VMware Workstation/player with windows 7 and run the tools from there. If you are under a Microsoft EA you'll have downgrade rights.
