Enable ssh from powercli

Instead of going to the DCUI or security profile to start ssh, you can also use powercli to start it.


Here we have a host where ssh isnt enabled







So connect via powercli
Connect to your host via Connect-VIServer hostname
 remember when logging on use the local user logon unless your box is authenticating against the ad which by default it wont. If you need to ask then its probably isnt.









Get-VMHostService | Where {$_.Key -eq "TSM-SSH"} | Start-VMHostService
