Dell Lasso Version 4.7.3 User's Guide

Allowing Root Access Using Multi User Interface (MUI) On VMware

The Multi User Interface (MUI) on VMware ESX 3.0/4.0 can also be used to allow root access. When using the MUI, do the following:

Select the ESX server in the VI Client
Select Configuration
Select Security Profile
Choose Properties
Select SSH Server and place a check in the box
Retry Lasso against this host
- NOTE: In few UNIX systems including VMware ESX 3.0, SSH is disabled as root by default. This default behavior prevents Lasso from executing the command through SSH remotely if root credentials are used. For more information, see Prerequisites For Data Collection .
