Beginning with VCF 4.4, SSH is disabled by default on all ESXi hosts to minimize security risks. However, if there is an external dependency requiring SSH access to ESXi hosts, you can enable it using the following steps.
If SSH needs to be enabled on all hosts across all domains, execute the following command as root in the SDDC Manager (example here is VCF 5.1):
cd /opt/vmware/sddc-support./sos --enable-ssh-esxi --domain-name ALL
To enable for a specific WLD only for example ‘crk-m01’:
./sos --enable-ssh-esxi --domain-name crk-m01
If you wish to disable:
./sos --disable-ssh-esxi --domain-name crk-m01
