=== "Remote Tech Support Mode (SSH) for the host XXX has been enabled" warning === | |||
Whilst not always recommended for production use, its certainly very common for admins to want to have SSH access enabled to all ESX's all of the time. But this causes a yellow warning on ESX's with the message above. | |||
You can remove the message by rebooting the ESX or restarting the hostd service (<code>/etc/init.d/hostd restart</code>), but this isn't always reliable, and doesn't survive an ESX upgrade. The following disables the alert in through the ESX's advanced config. | |||
# Go to the ESX's '''Advanced Settings''' | |||
## In the VI Client, with an ESX selected in the left-hand pane | |||
## Go to the ''Configuration'' tab, then in the ''Software'' section, go to ''Advanced Settings'' | |||
# Change <code> UserVars.SuppressShellWarning </code> to <code> 1 </code> | |||
The change takes effect immediately, no restart etc required! | |||
The above was gleamed from the script found at http://www.ivobeerens.nl/2011/11/11/enable-or-disable-remote-tech-support-mode-ssh/ | |||
