VMware ESXi unsupported console

Posted on August 10, 2009 by Maris

By default ESXi does not support console. To enable it you must be at physical terminal (screen & keyboard).

Press ALT+F1 and type “unsupported”. Then at the Password prompt type root password.

You are in.

Tested on ESXi 4.0 @ Dell PowerEdge 2950.
