The login however should not matter, since root can login ssh anyway. I can't find any config files for ssh in ESXi. No matter what I can't make the new user to login the ESXi with ssh. I made new account for logging into the ESXi (I have opened the ssh for ESXi). Now that was for ESX not ESXi specially, but it should apply.
You must use Windows, because web console is not able to create new virtual machine ) Create virtual machine (there is funny thing.Create normal (non-root) user on VMware dom0 (in this example, I will suspect user test with password test).Install ESX server and set root pasword (for example root).
Recomended way, how to use this agent is: Mostly, owner of Virtual Machine is root, but again, ssh is not allowed for that user.On dom0, ssh is not allowed for user root.You just connect to other machine, which has this command. On guest machine, you don't need to install anything.So why we have 2 set's of parameters? Because:
+ As you can see, guest1 connect to VMware management console (with hostname/login/password (-a/-l/-p) for ssh) and there, vmware-cmd is runned (with hostname/login/password (-A/-L/-P for VMware). I found the answer to the mysterious logins from Fencing wiki: VMware ESX management console user and password are different from login name and password? Which login name and password are you comparing it to?
