Failed to login to service console?

Post by Pentangle »

Hi,

I've just performed a full, fresh install of v4, after a full fresh install of ESX4.0

When choosing the server to backup, I get a failure when it tries to verify or login to the service console credentials i've supplied (and I know i've supplied these correctly...and have re-typed it a few times).

The specific error is: "Failed to login to '<ip address of my ESX4.0 server>' by SSH, port 22, user 'root', elevateToRoot False, autoSudo False, User authentication failed".

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Mike.

Hello Mike,

Root credentials are disabled by default, that's why you're not able to connect to your ESX host, please have a look at this thread describing how to enable it: Unable to Connect to ESX4

Thank you
